Does that make it more or less likely he'll be able to get an early release of his contract?
It seemed like the new coach didn't rate him but are they gonna get someone else in? or now they're playing at a lower level and might lose some other players he'll be back up in the pecking order. But I can see Singh wanting to move and not play in the second tier of Serbia so we may have to pay a fee to get him?
From memory he had a relegation out clause when Hansa Rostock dropped to the 3.Liga in Germany. There was a bit of noise circulating back here when it happened because not many Kiwi players have ever utilized such a clause, let alone in Europe!

I don't know what his current contract status will be in Serbia or whether he's got another year to go on it, but it's probably a very safe bet that he's not going to be playing Serbian second tier footy next season. 

As it is, three of his last four clubs have ended up being relegated when he's been on the books. There's no way he has left those couple of lines out in his latest contract (if it is indeed a multi year deal).

Good thing we can't get relegated at least, so there's a selling point! 🤷‍♂️😅
