Wise set to recruit former England defender

Last updated : 27 July 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Wolves midfielder Paul Ince has told new manager Mick McCarthy that he won't be returning to Molineux. The 38 year old has been offered the chance to join his pal Dennis Wise at Swindon Town in a player-coach capacity.


Wise has pounced for Ince at a time when the player hasn't returned for pre-season training since being over-looked for the manager's position.

Ince was a fan's favourite at Wolves and his arrival coincided with the promotion to the Premiership. It was believed he would stay on for a final season but the player intends to launch a career in management and the lure of coaching duties at Swindon Town was too much to turn down.

Ince joins a coaching team also containing midfielder Gus Poyet.
