Malik Dijksteel made himself unavailable for Cork City’s defeat to Sligo Rovers on Friday, manager Ger Nash has revealed.

It was announced in midweek that the Dutchman will join St Mirren once his contract elapses in November. However, City knocking back a bid by the Scottish club to sign the winger in this window led to a standoff.
