McClenahan, 26, was released by English Championship club Scunthorpe United in January just six months after joining the Iron.

During his brief stint at Scunthorpe, McClenahan was frozen out and only made one first-team appearance for the club.

And since his release from Scunthorpe, McClenahan told au.fourfourtwo.com he had been left further frustrated after a number of potential deals at other clubs collapsed.

“We've had a couple of things fall through. It seems like my luck has pretty much been out this season really,” McClenahan said.

McClenahan revealed things didn't work out for him at Scunthorpe after Nigel Adkins left the club for Southampton in September, replaced by Ian Baraclough.

“When I went there the manager who brought me in left after a month of me being there and then the new boss who came in basically didn't give me a chance, so I pretty much sat on the bench up until Christmas,” he said.

“That was no good, I wasn't really playing. I left there and have been looking for a club since.”

McClenahan added: “At the moment I'm waiting on confirmation from some clubs in Europe and we're also talking to a few clubs back home.

“There's things in the pipeline but these things tend to drag on and don't get fast-tracked in a sense. So we're waiting on some answers.”

McClenahan wouldn't specify which clubs he was talking to, but he did reveal the European clubs he was hoping to trial with were from Denmark and Germany.

The former West Ham United and Hamilton Academical's man has played his whole senior career in the United Kingdom but said a move to continental Europe excited him as something different and a new challenge.

McClenahan added a move to the A-League was an attractive option too.

“There's a few players who've gone back from Europe and done well. Moving back home is obviously another appealing thing,” he said.

McClenahan added his frustrating season only got worse when he recently received an invite for Holger Osieck's Socceroos training camp in Duisburg, only for it to be retracted.

“I even got a call-up for the Australian camp in Germany but then they told me I couldn't go unless I had a club,” he said.

“It was a positive but also a negative in itself. That's how it is at the moment, I've just not got any luck.

“But you go through periods like this, everyone has their ups and downs. I've just got to try and get things sorted as soon as possible and move on.”
