Stephen Dobbie faces wait on Swansea future

Swansea striker Stephen Dobbie admits he does not know where his future lies after helping Blackpool reach the Premier League. Dobbie was allowed to join the Seasiders on loan in January despite the Swans struggling to find the net.

Blackpool went on to pip Swansea to the last play-off place and won promotion by going on to beat Cardiff City 3-2 in Saturday's play-off final at Wembley.
"I don't know what's going to happen," said Dobbie. "I haven't spoken to Swansea at all. As far as I know I'm going back to Swansea. I'm just enjoying the next couple of days from our success and we will see what happens over the summer. I'm sure the gaffer is on holiday so I'm going to make sure I have a rest over the next two weeks, enjoy my holiday and forget about football until after that."

Dobbie was a free signing by then-Swans boss Roberto Martinez just three weeks before the Spaniard left Swansea last summer to take over at Premier League club Wigan Athletic. He arrived at the Liberty Stadium with a record of 47 goals in 83 appearances for Scottish first division side Queen of the South in a two year stint. (BBC Sport)
