"He has been absolutely tremendous, he does what it says on the tin and he ticks our boxes in terms of recruitment.
"He's improved as a player, without a doubt and taking to it like a duck to water in terms of how he's been received by the football club. Most importantly, his performances have been getting stronger and stronger.
"If he goes back, he goes back with our full blessing. We thank him for his time here and I personally thank him for our time working together.

Yes, they may call him back or there may be a possibility of him staying. If they are to call him back (after) tomorrow, then we are happy in terms of his contribution.”
