The 27-year-old has played 32 games for Leeds this season but is out of contract in the summer and has featured only once since McAllister's arrival.

"Matt was one of the players I sat down and told him there were two or three players ahead of him," McAllister told BBC Radio Leeds.

"His attitude has been excellent, but if he can find himself a club to go to we'll certainly look at that."
