Pring is a regular for the Robins first-team, and in time has forced his way into becoming one of the first names on the team sheet. He has started in both league matches, and is vying for a third consecutive start ahead of the visit of Birmingham City this weekend.
“I think it’s always flattering when clubs are interested in you,” he responded when asked about the speculation at Thursday’s pre-match press conference ahead of the visit of Birmingham.
“It sort of comes as a surprise for me as much as everyone else.
“I got a message off my friends one day and that’s literally all I heard about it. I was just as surprised as everyone else.”

His own future needs to be sorted this season however with his contract expiring next summer. The club does hold an extra-year and have the option to activate that but will be keen to tie him down to avoid losing him to any potential suitors.
