Goal<\/span><\/a> : \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Matthew Spiranovic has slammed reports his future is in limbo and says he’s contracted with Urawa Reds for 2012 and happy to remain with the Saitama club.<\/p>\n

Australian website The World Game reported on Wednesday that the 23-year-old defender, who has started five of the past seven games for the Australian national team, had been informed by the struggling J-League club he wasn’t wanted for next season.<\/p>\n

However, Goal.com spoke exclusively with Spiranovic who described the report as \u201cunnecessary speculation\u201d and insisted he was a required player at Urawa for 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a contract for next season and what I hear from the club is all positive, so that was definitely a case of unnecessary speculation,\u201d Spiranovic said.<\/p>\n

The report claimed that Spiranovic had become worried about his Socceroos chances due to his lack of game time after falling out of favour late in the season under interim Urawa coach Takafumi Hori, who took over following the dismissal of Zeljko Petrovic in October.<\/p>\n

Spiranovic admitted that the situation under Hori was frustrating but said he was confident he’d have a chance to win back his place under a new coach next campaign.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
