I’ve seen quite a few highlights from Ross County games and whilst he’s still quite a useful player he is not the force he was with us. SPL may be a class above League 1, but he does not display the dynamism that was such a feature in those months when he was so impressive with us. Given his  injuries and health problems it is probably sensible of him to play more within himself.

Signed a two year deal for Yeovil Town in the National League. They are not especially fancied this season for promotion but he is from Yeovil, so maybe that is the driver. As weak as Scottish football is, he’s taken a step backwards in quality. Hope he can show his obvious talent at this level. Still only 27.

Think it's the Kiwomya affect. Got a bad illness/injury that ruined their potential career prospects.

He did well to come back at all and because his game was dependent on massive speed and energy he did not seem to be the same powerhouse at Ross County in more of a substitute role than as a starter. Maybe he will be effective on 75-80% in the NL. I hope so.

Glad he he has a club & contuining to play his football, but what a massive shame, such a great player.
