GRIMSBY Town joint boss Paul Hurst admits Scott Neilson has probably played his final game for the club.
The Crawley Town winger made his last appearance of a three-month loan spell in tonight's 1-0 victory over Wrexham at Blundell Park.
And, speaking after the Conference clash, Hurst confirmed that the 25-year-old southerner may be heading elsewhere.
"I don't think we'll be seeing Scott in a Grimsby shirt again," said the Town co-manager.
"We thank him for his efforts and I think he appreciates the chance to come here and play, and to get his career back on track.
"But, as I've said, I can't pick Grimsby up and move it.
"We've made Scott a good offer but I think he'll be playing his football elsewhere."
Fellow loanee Ross Hannah, who netted the winner against the Red Dragons, also completed his loan stay this evening.
Hurst continued: "In terms of Ross, the clubs are in talks - at the minute I would say it's not looking likely, but who knows?
"The downside of the match being on TV tonight is that there might have been a few more people watching, but Ross loves it here and would love to stay.
"At the same time, if suddenly a different club comes in and offers him a much better package then he'll obviously look at that.
"We're hopeful but at this moment in time the clubs are a little way apart."
