Blackpool winger Ince doesn't regret leaving Liverpool

Blackpool winger Thomas Ince has no regrets leaving Liverpool in the summer.

The teenager was offered a contract to stay at Liverpool but thought that a move away from the club would give him a better chance of playing first-team football.

"A lot of players would be scared about leaving a club like Liverpool," he told the Guardian.

"It would have been very easy to stay but I just couldn't get away from the thought that I was 19 and wanted to get out and play regular football.

"I didn't want to get to 21 and still be playing reserve-team football. I was impatient to be playing and Ian Holloway was on the phone telling me I could be an important part of his team."
