Martin Woods goes back to Ross County

The 29-year-old, who joined from Ross County in the close season, had moved back to The Staggies despite signing a two-year-deal at Greenhous Meadow.

"Martin Woods has unfortunately returned to Scotland," Mellon said.

"He has got his own personal reasons family-wise and I respect his wishes.

"It is sad that he's has been forced to return home but sometimes it is the way things go in life, never mind football, so he will be leaving.

"He came to me the other day and explained his reasons and there is no way that the football club could stand in his way.

"I don't wish for anybody to play guess who with the reasons. I just want everybody to respect that the boy has to go home to be around his family."
