Only news is he is out of contract now.
Hasent played in any games, but has been watching as a fan.
Hasent signed for anyone else yet.
As far as i have heard.
Mabye others know better. 👍🏻

Been training with Falkirk, no suggestion he’s signing for them though.

Apparently strictly speaking not out of contract at Hibs but is on a sort of rolling deal, I’m not sure the technicalities of that or how it works though.

Can’t be any chance of falkirk paying the hefty development fee.

So he hasn’t signed with any club so far then Cleary confident that he will get another club but seems strange to not have had this sorted Out before now

Thought Watford was a "done deal"?

I posted about 10 days ago that Watford deal was dead and Brentford were now on scene, looks like information i got was bang on if he is training with them. Recent talks with Ben must have not came to anything then.

Did we not lose another promising youngster to Brentford a few years ago, who then disappeared into obscurity down there? A centre half if I remember correctly.

Sounded about right, so I googled it. It was Kane O'Connor. He left Brentford and has since played for Tranent and has just signed for Berwick Rangers for next season. Laidlaw might end up taking a similar path if he leaves. Other youngsters that left us believing in their ability seemed to have disappeared as well.

Kane O'connor, now tearing it up for the mighty Tranent Juniors I think.

Edited as can see others have answered.

From my limited viewing of Laidlaw, he seems like a real talent with good feet and bags of confidence on the ball. Just hope he’s not been getting bad advice and taking a poor career turn. Should really be signed with a club right now getting a good pre-season to kick on. Hope he gets something sorted soon.
