Exiting Town winger Tommy Oar could be set for a move to China, according to reports in Australia. The 24-year-old left the Blues on Friday having failed to settle since joining the club in August after leaving Dutch side FC Utrecht at the end of last season.
Oar’s departure from Town led to speculation that he could rejoin his former club the Brisbane Roar or another A-League side, while according to other reports a Chinese club is offering the Australian international a lucrative seven-figure deal.
The wideman’s Dutch agent Michael Jansen says his player is currently keeping his options open but played down a return to Australian domestic football.
"We are looking closer to home, but that does not mean that we rule out options in Europe or elsewhere in the world," Jansen told AAP.
"As for Australia, right after the news came out that he left Ipswich, there were a lot of clubs who made contact - and not only Australian clubs.
"Tommy just terminated his contract, so he does not want to rush anything. But at this point it's unlikely he will sign for an A-League team.”
Meanwhile, former Blue Nigel Reo-Coker, 31, has left MLS side the Montreal Impact after three years, his contract having been terminated by mutual consent.
