STUART Campbell insists he is not seeking a move from Bristol Rovers â despite having his name circulated to other clubs.
As revealed in yesterday's Evening Post, the experienced midfielder's days at the club look to be numbered with the Pirates advertising his availability to other clubs.
But the 33-year-old, pictured, who has made 287 league appearances for the Pirates and had a spell as caretaker-boss last season, says he is not the one instigating a possible move.
Campbell said: "The manager spoke to me last Thursday asking if I wanted to have my name circulated to other clubs. I told him that was up to him. We spoke again on Monday and I told him that I didn't want to leave the club and wasn't looking for a move â and if he wanted to circulate my name, then that was his prerogative.
"Now I have been told that my name has gone out to other clubs. I left it up to them and it's not my decision any more."
Campbell, who missed Tuesday's 3-0 home defeat by Port Vale through sickness, was linked with interest from Exeter City last summer.
The Grecians are also understood to have enquired about a possible loan move earlier this season, although Campbell says the idea of a temporary deal does not appeal.
"My contract runs until the end of the season, but I definitely don't want to go out on loan," said Campbell.
"If the manager or the club want me to leave, then that's up to them â but I can't see the point of me going somewhere on loan."
Campbell is one of only three senior players who remain at the club from last season, along with Byron Anthony and Gary Sawyer.
Boss Paul Buckle has brought in 18 new faces, including loan signings, since taking over during the summer and has already made it clear he envisages more comings and goings in the days ahead.
Rovers were today starting to prepare for Saturday's vital home game with Dagenham & Redbridge â where they will be looking to halt a slide which has brought four defeats in the last five games and seen them slip to 16th place in League Two.
