"We had him over to see us twice and he seemed really enthusiastic about coming here," Calderwood added.
"I know he had a big decision to make about moving his family to a new country.
"I have had the same kind of decision to make myself in the past.
"But the annoying thing is that I did not get to speak to the player myself at the end."
