The Australian international has since joined Danish side FC Copenhagen on a free transfer after growing frustrated at playing second choice to Alex Remiro at the Estadio Anoeta.

That exit has pushed Imanol Alguacil to dip into the transfer market this month to source a reliable deputy to Remiro for the 2022/23 campaign.
