MARC MCNULTY admits he would rather go on the dole than have to go back to Reading this summer.
The on-loan Dundee United striker is now in the final six months of his contract with the English Championship outfit.
He signed a four-year contract when he moved from Coventry in 2018 but has played less than 20 games and is now in his fifth loan spell, with two stints at United and Hibs plus one at Sunderland.
McNulty is set to become a free agent and is playing for his future in the second half of the Premiership season.
But he's just relieved he won't have to go back to Reading, where he has been deemed surplus to requirements. The frontman said: “My contract is finally up in the summer so who knows what will happen?
"But it's a relief to be the one in charge of my future.
"You can look at it two ways, there's the stress of being out of contract and not having a club.
“I might end up working as a cleaner here at St Andrews, you don't know!."
