"Lee came to see me about the coming season and I told him I could not guarantee anyone a place in the side," said Brian Carey.
"As everyone can see we have a number of players competing for places, especially up front, which is something I want.
"I told Lee he was not directly in my plans at the moment and, while I understand his desire to be playing, then maybe the best course of action for both parties was to see if any other clubs might be interested in taking him on.
"I'm sure that will be the case, but if not, then he is free to fight for his place here."
