Not sure there's ever an expectation of anyone getting offered a new one anywhere. I spoke to him a few weeks back, and he said 'there is an option' and it very much sounded like he wasn't too sure it would get taken up - he hasn't been playing for anyone in the UK, and got had a loan cut short early.
He may well have been hoping for it to have been, or for a good WC effort, but the facts are his contract was ending, so again, he would not have been shocked that it has ended.
