Derry City interim manager Mark Connolly has reiterated that James McClean remains employed by the club despite speculation over his future.
Former Republic of Ireland international McClean attended an open training session on Tuesday amid reports that the club are attempting to find a settlement that will end his time at the Brandywell Stadium.
"It was interesting to see the speculation on him turning up for training [on Tuesday]," said Connolly, the Candystripes' director of football who took on responsibility for the first team following Tiernan Lynch's departure last week.
"Ultimately he's trained sometimes and he hasn't trained sometimes due to his age.
"James is a Derry City player and we keep moving forward. He's one of 20-odd players. They're all Derry City players."
