Latest on Hassan Ayari Sheffield United future after Sheffield Wednesday trial spell

Sheffield United man Hassan Ayari’s time at Sheffield Wednesday is apparently over, but the youngster is still trying to seal a move away from Bramall Lane ahead of his contract expiring in the summer.

After the youngster expressed a desire to leave Bramall Lane, he appeared on trial at Hillsborough and impresssed for the Owls’ U21 side.

But his time at Wednesday appears to be over, with boss Paul Heckingbottom confirming he is still looking to find his next club.

“Yes [the Owls trial] has ended,” he said. "Hassan's in, he's been back here and he's still looking, but while they are here they can get in our team.

"But likewise, like any player, when your contract is running down, that's the other side of football that people don't necessarily see or understand. But the longer you are in the game as a player the more it becomes part and parcel.

"The lower down you go, you are playing for that uncertainty and it's tough. It's horrible if you have got family and you are moving about, it's not great.

"Hassan is a young man starting off and he'll get to understand that."

Ayari had a loan spell at Scarborough cut short earlier this season before he was granted permission to make the cross -city switch, with Owls boss Darren Moore admitting his side were exploring their options. Ayari is a highly-rated youth international with Tunisia - but his days at Bramall Lane appear to be drifting towards an unfortunate end.
