Mark Gower glad to depart Swansea City

Mark Gower admits that he became "disillusioned" with life at Swansea City during his final few months in Wales.

Mark Gower has revealed that he became "disillusioned" with life at Swansea City during his final few months with the club.

The 34-year-old, who had his contract with the Swans terminated at the end of the season, recently joined Charlton Athletic on a one-year deal.

"It turned out to be a great loan move for me and got back my appetite for the game. Coming from Swansea, I was out in the cold and a little bit disillusioned," he told BBC Sport.

"To not be playing for eight or nine months at a time was really difficult for me to take. I train because I want to play at the weekend. I don't just train to pick up my money. I want to play football."

Gower spent the second part of last season on loan at Charlton.
