Wycombe Wanderers right-back Jason McCarthy has revealed why he has made four separate transfers to the Chairboys in his career.
Across those stints, he has racked up nearly 200 appearances and was part of two play-off campaigns in 2020 and 2022.

His individual tenures at Adams Park have been split with spells at Barnsley, Millwall, and Walsall respectively, but after penning a contract extension until the end of the 2023/24 season, the 27-year-old has revealed why he feels Wanderers felt like âhomeâ.

He told the Bucks Free Press: âWhenever I left, the gaffer [Gareth Ainsworth] always told me that âyouâll be playing for me againâ â âyouâll be backâ, so I always felt that the door was always open for me.
âIt started really well at Barnsley but it didnât end well, it didnât go great at Millwall, and whenever it didnât go well, there were always other options but I always wanted to come back to Wycombe.

âI mean, I know I could go somewhere else but I always felt I was part of a winning formula whenever I came here.
âIâve played some of my best football here, I like living in the area, I enjoy being here, Iâve got a good relationship with the fans, I know the lads, I love themâŠso why wouldnât I play my football here?
Morning!

Reports from South London that Jason McCarthy is set to be coming back to @wwfcofficial
Return Of The Mac (again)?!
Jason was absolutely gutted not to be part of the play-off campaign and clearly loves WW. Deal makes sense for all concerned https://t.co/rwtHdPR4se
âIt made sense to always come back.
âItâs my home.â
