Doncaster boss Dave Penney has revealed that Exeter have turned down two offers for their star man James Coppinger.

Talking on the Third Division team's website, he said: 'Exeter have decided they want to keep him which was a surprise with the position the club are in, so that's that.

"We are not desperate to sign players but we are always looking to strengthen the side."

There has been much speculation surrounding the future of the player, whose contract is up at the end of the season.
