Harte turns down Wolves contract

Trial defender Ian Harte has rejected the chance of a short-term contract at Wolves.

The 64-capped Republic of Ireland international had been offered what is believed to be a month-to-month deal, with the incentive of something longer should he impress.

The 30-year-old ex-Leeds and Sunderland man has turned down the chance following a three-week trial.

Manager Mick McCarthy said: "If he'd have come, I'd have been thrilled, but he hasn't, so be it. He wanted to stay, but it was only a short term deal and it was up to him what he wanted to do."
