The ex-France international has not played football since turning out for Aston Villa last season, which saw him play nine games for the Midlands club after being signed by Gerard Houllier.

McKay has already brought in the likes of El-Hadji Diouf, Pascal Chimbonda and Herita Ilunga - whilst also linked with big-names such as Mahamadou Diarra and Frederic Piquionne.
Pires was another name linked and he has now confirmed that he has opted against taking their offer.
