Inverness: Striker Curtis Allen released by Caley Thistle

Striker Curtis Allen has been released by Inverness Caledonian Thistle only six months after joining the club.

Caley Thistle say the former Northern Ireland Under-21 international returned to his homeland "because of injury problems and homesickness".

The 25-year-old, who was previously with Coleraine, failed to make a first-team appearance despite having featured on the substitutes' bench.

Allan had begun his senior career with Bournemouth.

After a spell with Isthmian League outfit Leyton on loan, he joined Lisburn Distillery then Linfield before two seasons at Coleraine.
