GOD-FEARING New Zealand striker Rory Fallon admits he is waiting for divine intervention before deciding on his future at Plymouth Argyle.

The former Swindon forward has been linked with a move away from Home Park this summer, with clubs in Turkey and China rumoured to be keen on capturing him.

But Fallon insists he won't make a move until he is instructed by God to do so.

"I'm contracted here until the end of the season," he said. "One club has come in for me, but I don't feel the Lord wants me to go. I've always said that the Lord is the main man and I'll wait on what he says. I don't feel I have a clear message to leave yet, so I'm staying."

Fallon has often counted on his religious beliefs to help him direct his footballing career — none more so than when he remained at Argyle two years ago, despite interest from Southend.

He said: "I'm instructed by the Lord. I keep telling people this and people probably think I'm mad, but I know full well what I'm doing.

"When (former Argyle manager) Paul Sturrock came to the club and he wanted me to go to Southend, I had a dream from the Lord, and he told me to stay with Plymouth.

"I've had no instructions since — no clear sign — so I'm staying until my contract is done."

Elsewhere, Harry Redknapp has admitted he would have preferred his Tottenham Hotspur side had spent their pre-season in Devon than on tour in America. Spurs stayed at Woodbury Park last summer, playing Exeter City as part of their programme of warm-up games.

And, after a gruelling whistle-stop trek around the USA — where Spurs have played teams in New York and California — Redknapp says he would have preferred to have faced the Grecians again.

"I would be a liar if I said it was the perfect way to prepare for the new season, because it is not," Redknapp ranted.

"If I had my way, I'd be in Scotland or go down to Devon and play Plymouth, Torquay or Exeter."
