Drury Quotes:
I’m over the moon that Jack Duffy will be stopping with us, for Jack to agree this is the best place for himself and to turn down a massive offer from Ilkeston plus also turning down clubs like Kettering and Basford is a big coup for our club.
Jack knows that Stamford run the club as professional as possible and we support our players on and off the pitch the best we can. I have grown so fond of jack not only as a player but even more so as a person. Jack found it hard work to get in the side at first but his hard work on the pitch and away from football is all credit to himself and now his top goal scorer and really enjoying his football. Loyalty means everything to me as a manager and with the likes of Morgan Cos, T and Duffy all turning down moves shows we are doing the right things by the players. I have a special bunch of lads which makes my job enjoyable so a big thank you to all the lads from me... Up the Dannies.

We will be getting an update from Jack later today to find out in his own words why he turned down so many offers to stay with the Dannies.

***** DUFFYS UPDATE ******

My decision to stay at Stamford until the end of the season is a decision I know I won’t regret. Over the past few weeks, I've had a lot to think about and had some great offers on the table, and I truly am grateful and appreciate the offers from the other clubs. As a player, there isn’t anything better than being recognised for the hard work you put in and now people are starting to realise that about me.
The way I look at it is, I’m happy within myself and I’m enjoying my football for the first time in a long time and right now change could alter that. People might think I’ve made the wrong decisions by turning down higher league clubs and top of the league, but I feel the need to achieve something with this Stamford side before I think about moving on.
It just speaks volumes of the type of club Stamford is and how well it's run. I still think I have more to give the club and feel like I’m improving week in week out and that is evidently being noticed. The Gaffer has supported me through this whole situation and he said he’d stand by whatever decision I made. People don’t see the off-field stuff and last year for me was a battle and not once did the gaffer lose faith in me as a person or my ability as a player which goes to show the type of bloke he is. He’s been nothing but honest with me since the beginning and shown me loyalty, so now I’m returning the favour.

A massive thank you to the fans! The messages and love I have received over the past few weeks have been amazing and I know for a fact I wouldn’t get it anywhere else. I hope to see you all there Saturday.

I'm here and I'm here to stay! Up the dannies.

Duffs ❤️
