The defender penned a short-term deal in January but will be heading back to his homeland at the end of the Premiership season.
Auckland FC is scheduled to welcome Callan Elliot back to New Zealand.
Although the 24-year-old defender signed a short-term contract with Motherwell in January, Stuart Kettlewell has given him little opportunity to play. When this weekend’s season comes to an end, the right-back is expected to depart Fir Park. Elliot is now anticipated to return to Australia. It now appears that Auckland, a new A-League team, will be his next stop. Following the establishment of the club by Hibs investor Bill Foley, Auckland FC will field a team for the upcoming season. They play football for his Black Knights.
After putting their plans into action, Foley and his group are now focusing on preparing their team and club for the big kickoff. Elliot had previously played for Greek team Xanthi and Wellington Phoenix. Given that Scotland international Stephen O’Donnell’s contract at Fir Park expires this summer, Kettlewell might have to give the position first priority in terms of transfers.
devastated Prior to the final home game of the season, Rocky Bushiri apologised to the supporters and said that the Hibs’ loss to Aberdeen was “embarrassing”.
Boos filled Easter Road on Sunday as the Leith team lost 4-0 to the Dons. Nick Montgomery, the team’s manager, was under increasing pressure following a poor season that saw them finish in the bottom six of the Scottish Premiership. After the club’s 4-0 loss against Peter Leven’s team, supporters staged a sit-in protest in a portion of the home stands, demanding for changes in the dugout. The team has only secured four league victories since the middle of December.
To Hibs TV, Honest Bushiri said, “It wasn’t good enough; it was embarrassing.” We appeared to have something going for us today, especially considering how we started the game—on the offensive, winning corners. It gets challenging when you give up two goals in a short period of time.”
