Derby target Jones goes on strike at Southampton

Striker Kenwyne Jones has gone on strike at Southampton after seeing the club reject two bids from Derby boss Billy Davies.

The 22-year-old has told Saints he wants to leave St Mary's, with the club confirming the Trinidad and Tobago international has handed in a written transfer request and refused to play in Saturday's home fixture with Stoke.

Saints boss Burley told the club's official website: "Kenwyne spoke to me on Tuesday and said he did not want to play against Stoke.

"He confirmed that to me again on Friday morning and I am very disappointed by that."
