There are a few Free agents out there - here is the latest to add to the list ...

Former Hull City winger Gavin Whyte has joined the free agent market after leaving Portsmouth by mutual consent.
The 28-year-old joined Pompey last year, making the move to Fratton Park after four years at Cardiff City. He helped Portsmouth clinch promotion to the Championship last term, playing a bit-part role in their League One title triumph.

However, following an influx of new signings, Whyte has been allowed to depart and seek pastures new as a free agent. In a statement, Portsmouth said: “Portsmouth Football Club can announce that Gavin Whyte has departed the club by mutual consent.

Here are a few more ....

John Fleck - Blackburn Rovers -

Scotland international Fleck has been training with former club Rangers during pre-season but remains a free agent. Another vastly experienced option, the former Sheffield United, Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers midfield is believed to have received several offers from at home and abroad during the summer but is still looking for a new club.

Aaron Connolly - Hull City

Another international player after the forward earned nine caps for the Republic of Ireland, Connolly remains without a club after leaving Hull City earlier in the summer. At 24, the former Brighton and Venezia forward is one of the youngster players on this list but still boasts just under a century of appearances in the Premier League and Championship.

Brandon Williams - Manchester United -

An option at either full-back position, Williams was once viewed as a serious prospect at Old Trafford - but it would be safe to say he failed to kick on and loan spells with Norwich City and Ipswich Town failed to fire an upturn in form. That said, at just 23, there remains more than enough time for Williams to find a new club and get his career moving once again.

Liam Cooper - Leeds United -

The 19-times capped Scotland international was believed to be on the verge of a move to Hull City prior to the closure of the summer transfer window. However, the vastly experienced defender remains a free agent. After making over 280 appearances for Leeds, Cooper would bring plenty of defensive nous and leadership.

One more for tonight - Is / Was this the Scottish International ??? - Looks like he might be on his way to the USA ???

Stuart Armstrong - Southampton

Yet another Scottish international and perhaps the biggest surprise on this list. Armstrong was reportedly the subject of interest from a number of clubs across Europe following his departure from Southampton in June - but he remains without a club and would be an eye-catching addition for any club. An energetic presence in the middle of the park and another vastly experienced option.

Do you want one more ??? ....

Adam Reach - West Bromwich Albion -

The Chester-le-Street born midfielder has been without a club since he left West Brom in June and would bring a wealth of Championship experience after making 375 second tier appearances for the likes of the Baggies, Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Preston North End.

ALL the above were correct at time of posting from the weekend .

Another player still available is Andre Ayew. Yes I know he was a jack but he has had a decent scoring record at different levels but the championship seems to be his level now. I reckon he would get goals for us and if anyone does that then I really don't care who they played for previously - certain players obviously excluded!

Id be disappointed, with so many available, that we didn't try to pick up at least two from this list.
