Doncaster Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll has ruled out any move by Swansea for his influential captain Brian Stock The Wales international has emerged as a target for new Swansea boss Brendan Rogers, but O'Driscoll has insisted that Stock will be signing a new contract very shortly - his current one runs out at the end of the year. According to the Rovers manager, the only contact between the clubs was Rogers being told that he had no chance of signing the former Bournemouth and Preston midfielder.O'Driscoll conceded the 28-year-old may become slightly unsettled, but he is confident his captain will stay put."I have spoken to Brendan Rodgers and told him we are not looking to sell," O'Driscoll told the Yorkshire Post. "Brian is fully aware of the conversation and nothing further from Swansea has since appeared. He's in the last year of his contract - so it becomes a difficult time for players and clubs - but we are in the process of negotiating a new deal."Defenders James Chambers and James O'Connor and midfielders Martin Woods and James Coppinger are all also in talks with their manager over new deals."All are in the last years of their contracts so it is important that we start a process that has an end," he said. "The players would like that, too, and the process is currently ongoing."
