Falkirk agree to release midfielder Arfield

Scott Arfield is a free agent after Falkirk consented to the veteran midfielder's request to leave.

The 37-year-old rejoined the club in January, scoring nine goals in 13 appearances as the club went on to win the Championship title.

The former Rangers and Burnley player started this term with three goals in the League Cup group phase but has been used sparingly in the Premiership, with 11 of his 15 outings coming as a substitute.

The Canada international began his career with Falkirk and spent four seasons as a first-team regular before moving to Huddersfield Town in 2010.

"Scott leaves Falkirk FC with our very best wishes," said chief executive Jamie Swinney. "He will always be welcome at the Falkirk Stadium."

The club also say the number 37 shirt worn by Arfield over the past year will once again be retired in memory of Craig Gowans.
