PORTSMOUTH, Nov 23 (SW) – Veteran Portsmouth ‘keeper Dean Kiely admits he will probably be forced to leave Fratton Park in the search of regular first team football.

Whilst admitting he holds no grudges towards current incumbent David James, it is the way he has been treated which hurts Kiely the most after he helped guide the club to safety last season.

"We did a miraculous job (last season), played really, really well and got out of trouble and I find myself discarded as you will know," said the veteran.

"And that doesn't sit too well with me really because I've always played and done the business with the clubs I've been at!

"Well, you know it's probably looking that way (a January move) and this has really been forced upon me.

"After remaining in The Premiership and making a good contribution, my big picture was maybe move the family down and settle in the area.

"I have nothing against any other keeper. We come and we do our jobs. I just find it really, really difficult.

"Wherever I go I try to make a contribution. I don't want to sit here and pick up my wages for doing absolutely nothing.

"I'm concentrating on keeping myself fit and well. Physically and mentally I need to keep myself sharp because within a week things might change."
