After rejecting a new contract at Bolton, Aaron Mooy has left the club in search of regular first team football.

The 19-year-old was highly rated at the Reebok Stadium and was a regular in the reserves over the last couple of seasons.

He was offered a new deal, but has instead opted to look for a new club in Europe and press his claims for a place in the Australian national side.

"I'm not going back to Bolton," Mooy told FourFourTwo Australia. "They offered me a contract but I wasn't really happy with it.

"I'm going to trial for a few clubs in Holland, Italy and Germany.

"I didn't see myself breaking into the first-team (at Bolton) anytime soon, so I'm going to take a risk and try somewhere else.

"Everyone's been saying in Holland it's a good way to learn because everyone over there passes the ball around, it's not like everything's about results like in England.

"They try to teach the youngsters how to play. In England it's more, it doesn't matter how you play as long as you get the results."

Mooy leaves England having failed to make a senior appearances for the Wanderers.
