Dargo rejects Caley offer

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have been rocked by the news that star striker Craig Dargo has rejected a new contract offer from the club.
The deal would have made the former Kilmarnock star the highest-paid player in the history of the club, but he now seems certain to be heading out of the Caledonian Stadium.
Dargo's agent, David Baldwin, told the Press & Journal: "We've now informed Inverness that Craig was very grateful for their offer but, after thinking about it and discussing it, he would be looking for a move.
"From the Inverness point of view, it was a record offer but you have to put it into context with the goals that Craig had scored for the club and his market value.
"At this stage in his career, he wants to maximise what he can earn. He was not on tremendous money at Inverness. I appreciate that Inverness took a gamble on him, but I feel he has repaid them in the last two seasons."
The 29-year-old has scored 32 goals in 67 appearances for Caley Thistle.
