The
Australian played on 28 occasions since joining the Grove in the 2018/19
campaign, but last season he only made 4 appearances after mainly being used as
a backup to Kieran Harrison.
The
move to Newcastle will allow Kuraisk to be first-choice keeper, something he
wasn't guaranteed at Kidsgrove.
Following
the 23-year old’s departure, manager Scott Dundas told the club`s Richard Scott:
“It is a decision that Dom has taken. He wants to be a recognised first choice
keeper which is understandable.
“It
was always going to be very difficult to keep two goalkeepers of that quality,
but he feels like he will get more first-team opportunities at Newcastle.
“So,
we wish him well unless he plays against us. But good luck to him and I hope
that he does okay.”
Due
to Kurasik leaving the club, it means that young keeper Cameron Morris has been
promoted from the youth set-up to the first team, and he is someone that Dundas
believes has a bright future ahead of him.
“We
are keeping tabs on him; he is a good prospect. He has been training with Scott
Bentley in pre-season. As in goalkeepers, we are quite blessed at the minute
with having the two options of Kieran Harrison and Cameron.
“We
will be keeping a close eye on Cameron and he will be pushing Kieran to well in
pre-season”. |
