Harkin on his way out

It’s thought the talented Waterside man has been disappointed not to have featured more in ’Stute’s opening few games, but his departure has come some what of a surprise to boss Paul Kee.

“This has come totally out of the blue,” admitted Kee.

“I think he’s a little disappointed the way things have mapped out on the playing front and he’s maybe a wee bit sceptical about certain things and I’m disappointed that he’s decided to go.

“We have a good thing going on at ’Stute and I can’t understand it, to be honest because Neil is a good player and he was the Players’ Player of the Year last year and he was a key player with what we did, so the fact that he’s gone or wants to go, is fine and we’ll just have to get on with it.”
