Fraser disappointed with being released by Motherwell
Michael Fraser admits being released by Motherwell has left him "gutted".
The 26-year-old keeper joined the Fir Park club on a pre-contact agreement from Inverness last summer, but struggled to hold down a first-team place.
Despite having nine months left on his contract, Fraser came to agreement to leave early in order to find regular first-team football.
"I am really gutted to be leaving because I love the club and the people at the club," he told the club's official website.
"Things didn't work out for me and I am sad about that but, you know, that's football.
"I stay in Uddingston, I really like the area, so ideally I would like to stay down here and get a club in the central belt.
"Craig Brown and Archie Knox have been brilliant with me; they've not forced me out or cut me adrift. It's just one of those things.
"I would like to thank Motherwell FC for the opportunity and wish them all the best going forward."
Motherwell announced four departures in total with Steven Meechan, Steven Lawless and Peter Innes all having joined Albion Rovers on six-month loan spells.
Well boss Craig Brown said: "These three going out on loan is a part of the strategy we have in developing our young talent, preparing them for life in the first-team squad.
"We already have Dario Quinn at Linlithgow Rose, Jordan Halsman at Annan and Gary Smith at Dumbarton.
"Competitive football will do these guys the world of good and we hope when they return they will be in a much better position to challenge for a spot in our starting XI."
