Savage snubs Canadian switch

Derby midfielder Robbie Savage has turned down a move to Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps.

Savage, 36, who is out of contract at the end of the season, held talks with the Canadian club earlier this month about a possible switch.

However, the former Wales international has decided to snub their overtures. "I'm going to stay here," Savage wrote on Twitter.

"Canada was a great option but it was too big a move for my family."
