MOTHERWELL manager Graham Alexander believes Kaiyne Woolery's departure to Sakaryaspor "suits both the club and player".

The 27-year-old, who moved to Fir Park on a free transfer from Tranmere last summer, has joined the Turkish club for an undisclosed fee.

Woolery made 37 appearances in total for the Steelmen, providing three goals and three assists, but the forward was keen on a move elsewhere during the close season.

"Kaiyne told me at the end of the season he didn't feel settled in Scotland and he would like to explore his options during the summer," Alexander told the club's website.

"We had a very amicable conversation about it all and we agreed on two possible scenarios.

"We have come to a conclusion which suits both the club and player.

"I wish Kaiyne nothing but the best and thank him for his contribution last season."
