Shae failed to break into the team and has now been let go along with six other players.

His contract had not expired and instead agreed that it would be mutually terminated.

The club said in a statement: "Brisbane Roar wishes to thank all departing players for their contribution atthe club and wish them all the best for the future."

It comes as a disappointment as there had been high hopes that the 19-year-old would become a key player.

Ceo Kaz Patafta said last year: "Securing such a promising young attacking midfielder is a testament to our club's new vision of integrating youthful talent into our squad and first team environment.

"Shae's addition promises an exciting era ahead for the Roar family."

The midfielder had shown promise during his time in Everton's youth academy.

He assisted three goals in nine games for the under-18s in the 2022/23 season.

He made his debut for the Roar against Western Sydney Wanderers but struggled to become a regular in the team.

He made one more appearance from the bench as she failed to get a goal or an assist.

Shae then spent the remainder of the season with the Young Roar in the NPL.

His father, Tim, became a Premier League legend during his playing career.
