Central Coast Mariners goalkeeper Mat Ryan has cancelled his trial with Rangers, according to the A-League club.

The highly-rated shot-stopper was due to join the Scottish giants this week after an initial delay came through his shoulder injury.

However, the Mariners general manager Lawrie McKinna has now revealed that the move will not go ahead as planned on Twitter.

"Mat Ryan not going to Rangers on Monday," McKinna wrote on his Twitter account.

"Mat Ryan's reason for not going to Rangers on trial next week was that he wanted to know what league they will play and they wont know yet.

"The decision was Mat's and he only made his final decision on Friday night."

The 20-year-old is now likely to play in Mariners' game against Newcastle Jets on Friday.
