Roger Johnson staying at Wolverhampton Wanderers 'for the money'

Exiled Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Roger Johnson admits that he stays at the club for the money.

Exiled Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Roger Johnson has admitted that he stays at the club for the money.

The 31-year-old hasn't played for Wolves since Kenny Jackett became manager last summer, but earns around £25,000 a week to train in the afternoon after the rest of the team have finished their session.

When asked on Soccer AM why he doesn't leave Molineux, Johnson said: "It's a good question. I'm employed by the club so I would probably give up a fair amount of money if I just walked out.

"[Fans] can point the finger, but I didn't ask to come in at 2pm. I didn't ask not to play. I want to play football."

Johnson made 21 appearances while on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and West Ham United last season.
