Kenwyne determined to stay

Trinidad & Tobago international Kenwyne Jones has quashed speculation suggesting his time with Sunderland is over by insisting he is happy at the Stadium of Light.
New Black Cats boss Steve Bruce has already landed one new forward - Fraizer Campbell - this summer, and is expected to tie up the capture of Darren Bent later this week.
That has led to reports suggesting Bruce is keen to sell Jones, who still has three-and-a-half years left on his current contract.
However, the 24-year-old insisted: "If I wasn't committed to Sunderland I don't think I'd have just been away on pre-season for ten or 11 days.
"I signed a four-year contract in January and I'm committed to staying for that length of time, maybe more - you never know.
"I do get sick and tired of constantly hearing about this team and that team and me."
Jones has scored 19 goals in 65 appearances for Sunderland since joining the club from Southampton in August 2007.
