On talkSPORT he said: “Shane has been absolutely great for us, literally from the day he joined.
“He’s a massive character on the pitch, he’s an even bigger character off the pitch. He is loved by everyone in the club.
“It’s a tough decision for Graham (Potter) because there are so many center-backs to put in a line-up, but Shane was great.
“We’ll be disappointed if we lose him, but we also understand that he wants to play football.”
