Another former City striker but one who did not get a first team start - Donovan Simmonds has been released by Floriana of Malta, according to reports.

The striker did top the scoring charts for City Reserves after being signed by Iain Dowie but spent last season on loan at Kilmarnock.

He joined Floriana on August 19th this year.

Michael Mifsud won't be rushed into finding a new club. The former City forward whose contract at Coventry City expired at the end of June, is still without a club and is now only playing international football.

Speaking to the Times Of Malta, Mifsud who scored for Malta against Bulgaria last week said: "People have asked me why it's taking me so long to decide but I don't want to rush things. "I'm 28 now and I feel I have an extra responsibility to make sure that my next move is the right one for my career and for my personal life.

"The desire to play football and do well for myself and my country has not diminished one bit.

"I still have several options. If the move I'm hoping to make doesn't materialise, I will consider other possibilities. At this moment in time, I'm not excluding anything.

"I'm prepared to wait until January before deciding on my future. I've always looked after myself and I've got no concerns about my fitness because I've continued to train regularly with the national squad."
