Kal Naismith is relaxed about his next football move after deciding to leave Fratton Park.

The Scot, who played such an important role in the League Two title win, said he felt the time was right to move on after failing to agree a deal with Pompey. Intriguingly, he also said his time with the Blues may not be up.

Naismith told The News: 'All good things come to an end at some point. Pompey was an amazing time, an incredible three years, and I’ll always look back on it with the greatest of memories. This club has by far and away given me the best moments of my career.

‘Obviously, making my debut for Rangers, the club I supported, was amazing. But winning the title with Pompey was such an achievement, it felt so special.

'But it was time to move on, time for a change. Both parties couldn’t come to an agreement on a new deal and I just felt it was right to go. I’ve absolutely loved it, there have been massive highs and great experiences — I will always look back on Pompey with fond memories. But it was time for another chapter in my life.

‘You never know, my time might not be done at Portsmouth, I don’t know. I’ve built up a very good relationship with the fans. We’ve had different opinions at times, that is football, but I felt overall I had a great relationship with them. And I’d like to thank them for supporting me very, very well over the three years.’

‘I won’t necessarily move back up north. I have made sacrifices in my life and never really lived near my home, I would never go and play my football just to be near home. I do what I do because I live to do it, I want to get to the highest level, I want to play in the highest leagues, I want to try to be the best I possibly can be.

‘I’m going to Spain this week and I don’t know if you know them, but there’s a club called Barcelona! Seriously, though, there is interest from clubs and I’m just weighing up my options. I want to sit down and see, there is a lot to consider.'
