East Stirling defender or midfielder Craig Hume will leave the club this week to join Junior side Tranent after becoming frustrated at not playing enough football for the Third Division side.
Hume was signed during the summer from amateur football in Edinburgh and has played in 13 games, scoring once, however an agreement has been reached that will see the player transfer to Tranent.
Coughlin said, “Craig leaves with everyone’s best wishes, and I have thanked him for his contribution to the club. He was disappointed at not starting recently and there was no way I could make any guarantees to him, or any other player, about that.”
“We offered him the chance to go out on loan but he felt the best thing to do would be to move on.”
