He wouldnt have developed for us though due to a severe lack of game time. Hed have been behind Neil and Rigg in the pecking order. He'd already come out and said he needs first team football next season. Loaning him out again could have been an option but sounds like he just wanted to find a club he could settle at and call home.
It's sad but the club outgrew him, probably faster than they thought. If we'd not gone up I think he'd have been in the squad this season. But good luck to him, he's got talent and the MLS is a decent league these days with a chance for him to improve and who knows, get a move to a bigger league later if he comes on well enough.
