Martindale is taking tough love approach to Tete

LIVINGSTON manager Davie Martindale says he won't get off Tete Yengi’s back until the striker fulfils his potential and earns the big move he craves.

The 24-year-old Australian, left, had spells in his homeland, England and Finland before pitching up in West Lothian in 2024.

Having angled for a transfer earlier this year that failed to mat rialise, the campaign culminated in Livi earning promotion back to the Premiership, with Yengi scoring a vital goal in their playoff final win against Ross County.

Last month he signed a one-year contract extension which ties him to the Lions until summer 2027, and while Martindale praised the frontman for his work-rate in last weekend's 0-0 draw at Aberdeen, he is convinced Yengi's career can hit greater heights.
