The latter was brought in last summer for £6 million from Sheffield United.

Although Trusty soon got a run of games under his belt, towards the end of the campaign, he lost his place in the team to Scales, the man he was initially bought to displace.
Mulgrew, therefore, believes Rodgers isn't entirely convinced by either: "I get the feeling that he's not completely satisfied with Trusty or Scales," said the ex-Celtic utility man [RecordSport].
"But then it can change.
"I really like Scales. Trusty's shown he can be a good player as well. They'll come back this pre-season and they might just hit the ground running.
"The way football works, they could be the main centre-back next year. Football's a mad game.
"It happened to myself. The year I got Player of the Year, I came back and I wasn't in the team for the first two games.
"Then I played the majority at centre-back and got Player of the Year in Scotland. Anything can happen.
"I'm sure Brendan Rodgers will be assessing that and seeing who's the best fit to play.
"That's the good thing about Brendan Rodgers, he's always keeping people on their toes by knowing if they don't perform, they'll be replaced.
"As a player, you want to be kept on your toes and not be resting your laurels."

Celtic urged to snap up rising star everyone's talking about and who dreams of Parkhead transfer
The Scottish champions and Nottingham Forest have been linked with the promising attacker Celtic have been urged to move quickly to snap up Irish teen sensation Cathal O'Sullivan. The Hoops have been linked with a swoop for the 18-year-old Cork City attacker - who is also on the radar of Nottingham Forest. Brendan Rodgers might get a closer look at the rising star when the teams meet in next month's pre-season clash at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Highly-rated O'Sullivan has already revealed he dreams of pulling on the famous green and white hoops, saying in March: "Yeah, it's definitely an ambition because obviously the link with Ireland and Celtic. "It's a huge club, massive club so yeah, I would love to go over and play for a club like Celtic. I love watching their games and how impressive their Champions League run was this year, and my dad is the same. "My dad supports Celtic if they're on the TV. There's a connection between Ireland and Celtic or Cork and Celtic, there's a huge amount of fans over here." The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international already has 49 senior games under his belt, including seven goals and nine assists. Irish Football Expert Darryl Geraghty has tracked O'Sullivan's progress from a young age, all the way through his Cork City academy years. And he's given the Scottish champions an insight into what the talented youngster could bring to the table - even mentioning the prospect in the same breath as Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal. "Cathal O'Sullivan is the name on everyone's lips at the moment", he told Betway. 'He recently turned 18 and just celebrated it with his first inclusion in an Ireland Under-21 squad. He was called up by Jim Crawford to play Croatia and Qatar - and it was honestly no surprise. 'Those matches were another opportunity to bubble up hype before he moves abroad. He's a left-footer but normally operates off the right side of an attacking three, cutting in to shoot. 'He came through Leeside United before joining Cork City's academy. He played at pretty much every age group there before being massive in their promotion back to the top division. He got seven goals, three assists and he's just a constant threat "He got into the PFAI Team of the Year as well off the back of some stunning performances and a few absolute stunners as well. "I think - thanks to his low centre of gravity and pace from a standing start - he's made the step up to the Irish Premier Division look easy. 'He's already got three assists this season. He's got that Lamine Yamal or Mo Salah-style ability to drift inside or outside, burst away from his marker. Then he just seems to let fly whenever he gets the chance. "What really stands out with him though - and it might not be the first thing you think of with a player like this - is his ferocious tenacity. 'He works back, does the ugly side of the game heading towards his own goal, and that's something managers notice. 'Now, of course, like any young attacker, the final ball and his ruthlessness in front of goal will only get better with age."
