The 21-year-old, who came up through the Easter Road youth system, said: "The gaffer left and a new one came in and I'm not in his plans.

"The chairman Rod Petrie called my agent to tell him. I was disappointed he didn't call me to give his reasons.

"I'm not going to have sour grapes about it as there is nothing I can do about it now.

"But if I'd known three months ago I'd not get a deal then it would've been better as teams could have watched me in the final few games."
