Salisbury want to hold on to Sean Clohessy

With his three month loan deal from Gillingham running out after Saturdays game against Cambridge United, Salisbury coach Tommy Widdrington is desperate to hold on to defender Sean Clohessy.

Widdrington wants 22-year-old Clohessy to stay at Salisbury for the rest of the season but expects a lot of interest from other clubs.

“He’s done ever so well. We can’t be so arrogant to think that we’re the only club to be interested,” he said.

In his three month stint at the club, Clohessy has scored two goals, but not sure where he wants to play in the future.

“I’m going back to Gillingham on Monday and will sit down and speak [to Stimson],” he said.

“Obviously I want to play the highest level I can play and push on, I’ve just turned 22.

“I believe in myself and can play at the highest level.”

“We have been speaking to Sean and to Mark Stimson at Gillingham [manager],” Widdrington said in a Radio interview.

“His pedigree is even higher than Gillingham. He had a lot of time at Arsenal as a young lad, you can see the way he plays football. He wants to attack and that’s his best line of defence.

“I’d love to take him until the end of the season. His application in training is excellent.”

Clohessy has played near 50 games for Gillingham and feels he’s impressed his boss.

“In all the games I’ve played I’ve worked my hardest. I didn’t leave anything in the locker,” he added.
