I like Higgs, I certainly felt that if Kaper picked up an injury I wouldn't be too worried with Shane in goal. If he would be happy with a place on the bench then I'd certainly hope we'd keep him. I see this as Higgs wanting to be more involved in first team games, which when we have Schmeichel isn't guna happen.

All the best Shane and good luck in the future.

I thought his spell in fron of the net was decent at the time. Maybe not as good as he could have been ,but not that bad.

Cant understand why he has released him tbh, gonna cost more money to bring another Keeper in cause Kasper wont be going anywhere
