Season › 2011-12 › News Donnelly explains Everton snub Michael Kenrick , 31 December, 46comments | Jump to most recent 19-year-old hot prospect Rory Donnelly has explained why he felt the need to snub Liverpool and Everton to link up with Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers after the prolific striker completed his move from Cliftonville. "I was really impressed with what the manager had to say when I met him", the striker told Swansea's official website. "He couldn't have done anything more to impress me. "I believe I am signing for a brilliant manager who is prepared to give youth a chance. I also met the likes of Scott Sinclair and Joe Allen when I was over here last week and it only reinforced the belief that Swansea is the right club for me. "I know there was serious interest from Everton and Liverpool, but I love the way Swansea play the game and I think it will suit me. "The manager has told me there is no pressure on me because I am only 19. In time there will be pressure, but not right now. "He has shown a lot of faith in me and hopefully I can repay him with plenty of goals."
