Wolves boss McCarthy unconcerned about Jones contract

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy says he is not concerned about midfielder David Jones' contract status.

The 25-year old, who scored a brilliant goal in his sides opening day win over Stoke City, is heading into the final 12 months of his contract and although there has been transfer rumblings surrounding, McCarthy is confident he will remain at the Molineux.

"No, I don't, none at all," McCarthy told Sky Sports News when asked if he had any worries about the Jones contract.

"Dave is such a lad that he will perform like he did last week. It is in his interests to perform like he did last week.

"I seem to remember that Bolton used to sign players on one-year contracts. Teams have done it and they (players) are hugely motivated in terms of looking for another contract.

"Dave is motivated anyway, he is a fantastic professional. He will play to the best of his ability whether he has signed a contract or not.

"Somebody else might be having a look at him, but while I'm getting performances out of him that's all that matters to me, the Wolves fans and the club."
