Connor Simpson could still play a part at Scarborough Athletic despite Iceland move
Simpson signed for Icelandic outfit Kordrengir this week, prompting speculation that the striker has severed ties with the Flamingo Land Stadium club without playing a competitive match for the club.
However, manager Kelly is keen to point out that given the season is wrapped up by September in Iceland, that Simpson could still line up for Athletic in the Northern Premier League during the 2021/22 campaign.
