"I've been speaking to clubs ... it's just making my mind up" top Point stopper could be on move soon
McCarey reveals he has agreed terms with one side

One of the Danske Bank Premiership’s best goalkeepers could be on the move in the January transfer window.
Warrenpoint stopper Aaron McCarey will almost certainly leave the club next month.
The 26-year-old joined in summer from Ross County, and quickly stood out as one of the Premiership's best stoppers.
Speaking on our latest BetMcLean show (in association with NIFL, see link), he revealed he had agreed terms with another club, but has not signed a deal just yet.
"I have been speaking to a couple of clubs, so at the minute it's just making my mind up. I've agreed terms with one particular club, but until it's on the dotted line you don't know if it's going to go through,” he said.
While McCarey has been the outstanding keeper this season, he recalls a forgettable debut.
"My debut was against Linfield and I got sent off, and I was thinking, 'here we go, pack it in, Aaron!' But I'd been training with the lads since pre-season and I always knew it was going to click,” he said.
McCarey is full of praise for his Warrenpoint side and, in particular, young manager Stephen McDonnell.
"He'll have big ambitions as he's a fantastic young coach,” he said.
“He's learning the game, but what a place to learn it.
“Warrenpoint is a great club and the Irish League is a cut-throat business.
“Any clubs on the lookout for a new manager next season, I'm sure he'll be in people's thoughts.
"I've known him for a long time. We played together in the Dundalk schoolboys’ league. We went to the Milk Cup under 12s together. It's a long-term relationship."
Also guesting this week is former Cliftonville manager Tommy Breslin.
