SWINDON Town goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott remained tight-lipped about his club future days after helping Ghana qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

On Tuesday, Ghana’s number one celebrated an aggregate victory over international neighbours Nigeria before going on to keep a clean sheet during Town’s 0-0 draw against Rochdale at the weekend.

The 25-year-old sees his Town contract run out in the summer, and many hope Wollacott will agree a new contract with Ben Garner’s men as Town build a squad for the 2022-23 campaign.

Should the Bristol-born stopper remain in Wiltshire, he would become only the fourth Swindon player to represent his country while at the County Ground.

Asked how he felt about that particular fact given his deal runs out in the summer, Wollacott said: “It’s an interesting statistic, but we’ll have to see.

“At the moment, I’m not interested in the future. I’m focusing on the rest of the season, and I’m happy where I’m at right now. That’s a conversation for further down the line.”

Looking back, Wollacott spent a month on loan at National League Woking midway through the 2017-18 season where he played just once in a 2-1 defeat against Barrow.

Fast forward almost five years, and he should face the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, and Heung-min Son on the biggest stage.

Asked if he was surprised at how fast his career has progressed, Wollacott said: “That’s just the way football works.

“It’s just a game where it’s a matter of opinions. If I was to give anyone any advice, it would be: “believe in yourself” because that’s just the way football is.

“One person’s opinion is irrelevant compared to your own opinion. Just believe in yourself, be patient, and keep working hard.

“I won’t know for sure what my emotions will be like until I go, but at the moment I’m pretty happy.

“But you have to have a sense of humility - you can’t get ahead of yourself. I am looking forward to it.”

Reflecting on the two-legged success last week, Wollacott said he tried to treat the final World Cup qualifier as a normal game but was acutely aware of what reaching Qatar would mean to his country.

He said: “Playing for Ghana, I didn’t realise when I first went out there, the previous success they’ve had in tournaments means there are really high expectations from the country as well.

“Football is massive in Ghana, a lot of people follow it, so to deliver and make Ghanaians proud was the best feeling.”
