McNeil eager to get career back on track
Andrew McNeil has conceded he will have to leave Hibernian to get his career back on track.
The 21-year-old is well down the pecking order at Easter Road and he is unlkely to get a look in under Mixu Paatelainen with the Hibs boss searching for goalkeeping reinforcements.
Former Dundee United man Grzegorz Szamotulski is believed to be the latest keeper on trial at Hibs and McNeil accepts he will have to move on in search of regular first-team action.
"I think when the manager brings in eight goalkeepers on trial in the space of six months and is in the paper saying he is looking to bring in experience, the writing is on the wall," McNeil told the
Edinburgh Evening News.
"I have come in and done well and been dropped twice. You would have to be an idiot to think you had a real long-term future at the club.
"That's the way it is sometimes, people have different ideas about what they want and what they require from players and sometimes you don't fit into that mould.
Realisation
"I think I have realised you can't hang around for too long in places.
"From my experience, I have known a lot of players that have hung around too long, maybe out of false promises or being in a comfortable position. You end up going back a bit.
"I don't want to be in that situation. I want to keep moving forward and getting better and if that means I have to go elsewhere, that is the way it is."
