Chris Long released by Burnley this month; he'd been on loan at League One clubs the past couple of seasons.
He had a decent pre-season for us in 2014-15 from memory; and was regarded as a good prospect. Best of luck to the lad, am sure a club somewhere will pick him up. He's still only 23 after all.

Offensive tweets have emerged from a footballer whose team is at the forefront of tackling homophobia.
Brighton and Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy, 26, posted a series of slurs on the social media platform in 2011 and 2012, and called gay X Factor contestant Rylan Clark-Neal a "thing".
The city is known for its large LGBT community and the club has a "zero tolerance approach" to homophobia.
A spokesman for the club said Mr Duffy has apologised in a letter to the FA.
The spokesman added: "The club's stance on homophobia is well known, and we have a zero tolerance approach.
"Shane made the posts when he was still a teenager.
"He has since previously apologised for any offence he may have unwittingly caused. As far as the club is concerned that draws a line under this issue."
Mr Duffy was playing for Everton at the time he posted his tweets.
A spokesperson for the Football Association said: "We were made aware of the allegations and investigated. We wrote to the player last month to warn him about his future conduct."
Peter Tatchell, human rights campaigner, said he was surprised by the tweets: "They are from quite a few years ago, but they are certainly homophobic. It's totally unacceptable.
"He does play for a team in one of the most gay cities in Britain, and his team is regularly subjected to homophobic abuse by fans from rival team so you would think Shane… would be very firm in opposing prejudice of any kind, and want to stand with his team mates and the LGBT community in Brighton against homophobia.
"Some people say it's just banter but there is no excuse for banter that's racist, misogynistic or homophobic."

Playing for Everton at the time. Deduct ten points from them next season and ban them from Europe for five years, it's clearly their fault.

Does peter not get that it was years ago, well before we played for Brighton? I’m not condoning any homophobic abuse or language, and he should apologise even though he was a teen. But to say “you would think Shane would be very firm in opposing prejudice of any kind” because he lives in Brighton, is completely irrelevant as he probably never thought he would be living in Brighton when he wrote them. It’s irrelevant that he NOW plays for Brighton years later.

* Searches through history books for things that happened in everyday life back then to get offended by now, just to get some attention
For example I hate the way T rex used to bully the smaller creatures. They really should have not used their physical advantage to coerce smaller dinosaurs into a life of fear and subjugation. I mean, it was against their rights to get eaten. I'm offended and want compensation from somebody for the pain I go through knowing this.
For crying out loud .... society's values change, evolve and always will do. At what date in the past does the search for such offense stop?
