Ryan McLaughlin (Released)

Anyone heard any info on Ryan and why he hasn't been included on the tour squad?

As I've said before on here one of my staff is a pal of his and went to school with him in Belfast and all he can tell me is Ryan is currenty back home in Belfast just after the first week of pre season training.

Really thought he might feature this season.

I was looking forward to seeing him in pre season so it's disappointing that he's not there.

Not too sure why he's home Si but it's not a surprise he's not on the US Tour.  None of the younger players have been included if they've not already featured with the first team.

We've taken a 33 man squad as it is and for some of the fringe players it could be their last chance to impress enough to keep them.  Young Ryan isn't at that stage yet so if anything it's a good thing for him.

There's rumours that Inglewhite wanted to keep his u21 squad together for the coming season and they have their own pre season tour set up, so it's not all doom and gloom.

That makes sense Debs.

He's supposedly decided to return early from his loan deal at Aberbeen after barely featuring.

Ryan has been released by the Club.  Yet another youngster whose early career was blighted by injury.

Best of luck in the future lad.

Sad to hear, always thought he was going to develop well for us.

So did I. Talented footballer.

He probably would have if he hadn't missed the best part of 3 years injured mate.  You're very lucky to lose that amount of development time and still make it.

I heard about this the other day but wasn't sure if it was true or not.

I thought he was very promising. Hope he rebuilds himself and gets to a decent level of football.

I was wishing for ages that he'd make it through to the first team. He was exactly the type of player that would fit our system, shame that his injuries meant that he was never able to develop as much as he should have done.

At 21 he's not been close to being first team. Was time to go.
