MARK Connolly has moved to quash rumours that Derry City attempted to terminate James McClean's contract, insisting the former Ireland international remains employed by the Brandywell club.

The 103-capped winger has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract and attended an open training session at Brandywell on Tuesday despite reports claiming the club told him to stay away.
