I suspect a permanent move might follow on the back of that if all goes well for him. He's been somewhat transformed into a full back this season either due to lack of options in that area or because he wasn't fancied in a more advanced role. Did a job for us in the lower divisions and is capable of scoring a goal, but I don't see him competing for a spot on the wing in future so long term a move away would be best for all unless he shows he's a viable option at right back.
He's going home and if football isn't his living on a long term basis he'll be able to build a life for himself over there. Although I suspect there's a decent living to be made in north American 'soccer' for players considered average here.
He gave his best and you can't ask for more. Have a lovely photo of him with my boy after the Hearts game at Easter last year.
