Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale has dismissed reports linking him with the vacant managerial position at League One rivals Southampton.The 37-year-old started his playing career with the Saints, making 18 appearances for the club.

Tisdale told BBC Devon: "I'm happy at Exeter - the job's not finished yet, so I haven't been swayed by any vacancy.

"I'm pretty committed to where I am at present, so on Saturday I'll be an Exeter City manager."

He added: "Southampton is a former club that I spent a long time at, and I'm a follower of the Saints."

During the summer, Tisdale was also linked with the manager's post at Championship side Swansea City, before the job eventually went to Brendan Rodgers.
