Scottish third division club Livingston and goalkeeping coach John Murphy have parted ways.

The American, who took charge of the club for a short stint in pre-season, has mutually terminated his contract with the Lions.

"John made a valuable contribution to the club during his time at Almondvale, both in his role as goalkeeping coach and, briefly, as our head coach prior to the appointment of Gary Bollan," chief executive Ged Nixon told the club's official website.

"He leaves Livingston on good terms and with our very best wishes for the future."
