Kieran Sadlier gives an update on his contract negotiations and state of mind at Doncaster Rovers

The forward has yet to sign the new contract offered by Rovers several months ago and will see his current deal expire in the summer.

The 25-year-old says he holds ambitions of playing in the Championship but that is not the main determining factor in whether he will remain with Rovers.

“If it’s with Doncaster or not, I see myself wanting to go as high as I can,” he said.

“I want to test myself at the highest level possible. That has always been my main aim since starting out as a professional footballer.

“Whether it’s with Doncaster or not, I can’t tell, but it’s somewhere I’d like to go eventually in my career.“I could also stay if we’re pushing for promotion from League One and push for promotion next year.”

With Sadlier reaching the final six months of his contract, clubs are now able to approach him with offers for the summer.

He says that may have already been the case, but has requested that his agents allow him to focus on his form with Rovers.

“I’m sure clubs have spoken to them,” he said.

“But when I speak to my agents I just rather they don’t tell me much.

“They know just to leave me to concentrate on my performances. Every time I speak to them it’s just about that really.

“They deal with all that stuff and we’ll make a decision at some point on what I do do.

“That’s it really.”

On contract negotiations with Rovers, Sadlier reiterated that his agents are dealing with the matter and that he is determined on focus on playing.

“It’s in the hands of the club and my agents and they’re talking,” he said.

“I’m just concentrating on my performances and trying to stay consistent.

“I feel, of late, I’ve been doing that.

“That is my real aim.

“One of the targets is to get into the play-offs and get promoted this season and I’m just focusing on that.

On the chances of him becoming a free agent, he said: “It’s something that could happen.

“To be honest, from a player’s point of view, I haven’t given it much thought.

“I know an offer has been made and it’s got to be the right offer for myself, the club, everybody involved.

“I’m thankful that I have good agents that I can leave it down to them and they deal with all that stuff.”
