Paatelainen said: "It was a difficult season for Benji. I agree. He is a fantastic striker who can score goals. He scored for Morocco and does that in training all the time.

"He had injuries and when he played we did not get the best out of him. Maybe that was because he was not ready to come back, but he is a capable striker and I am sure he will score loads of goals for us.

"You can never say someone is not moving, but as far as I am concerned at the moment Benji is staying."
