McKinstry's vision for the club extends beyond the influx of transfer funds.
"We thank Rogers for his contribution. He's been a real sort of breath of fresh air in the group. We wish he'd been here longer, but as with any player, if we get a transfer offer that we think is good for the club and we think is a good opportunity for the player, we'll never stand in their way," he noted.
"So yeah, we wish him luck, and you know, we'll look to reinvest that profit back into developing the team and what we're doing over the one year," he concluded.
