BBC - Jones turns down New Saints bid
Wales veteran goalkeeper Paul Jones has turned down an audacious bid to join Welsh Premiership side The New Saints for their Champions League campaign.
Saints face Latvian side Ventspils in the first qualifying round, first leg at Newtown's Latham Park on 17 July.
"Ken McKenna (the Saints manager) asked me to play because their keeper is struggling with injury," Jones said.
"I have turned it down because there's interest from other clubs involved in the Uefa Cup or Champions League."
Saints keeper Gerard Doherty is currently injured and the Welsh champions had to borrow John Bagnall on loan from Southport for their pre-season tour in Ireland...
Jones, who has won 50 caps for Wales, was released by Queen's Park Rangers in May and is currently searching for a new club.
The 40-year-old told BBC Sport Wales he cannot afford to be cup-tied as several of the clubs he is in contact with are Premier League sides.
Jones would be registered as a player - likely to be as reserve or third-choice keeper - but could also be employed in a coaching capacity.
"We'll wait and see what happens but often clubs leave keepers until the last thing, especially ones in Europe (competition)," Jones added.
Cardiff City are currently in search of a goalkeeper but Jones said there has been no interest from the Championship club, despite manager Dave Jones having signed him three times before.
"There's been no contact with Cardiff, perhaps Dave has had enough of me!" Jones joked.
The Bluebirds boss signed Jones when he was in charge of Stockport, Southampton, and then Wolverhampton Wanderers. BBC

BBC - Forest capture Orient's Lockwood
Nottingham Forest have signed defender Matt Lockwood from League One rivals Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee, reports BBC Radio Nottingham.
The left-back, 30, has signed a two-year contract at the City Ground.
Lockwood had only signed a new two-year deal at Orient, with the option of a further year, at the beginning of May.
"He has chosen to exercise the clause he had in his contract, allowing him to leave for a certain fee," O's boss Martin Ling told his club's website.
I think he felt this was too good an opportunity to turn down
Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling
"He's been very close to moving on in the past, and I think he felt this was too good an opportunity to turn down.
"He's been a great servant to Orient and it's probably his last chance to move to a big club, so I wish him all the best."
He has scored 50 goals in 328 league appearances for Orient, since joining from Bristol Rovers in 1998 - and found the net 11 times last season.
Lockwood helped Orient win promotion from League Two in 2006.
He was also selected in the Professional Footballers Association's "Team of the Year" for League One by his fellow professionals last season. BBC
