Just hopes agent is 'busy' after World Cup impact
[Getty Images] Elijah Just hopes his agent is "busy at the moment" as the New Zealand midfielder hinted at a possible summer exit from Motherwell after impressing at the World Cup. The 26-year-old scored three times despite his side failing to qualify for the knock-out stages in the Americas. Asked about his future on his return to Fir Park, he said: "In terms of transfer in the window, that's I guess my agent's job. "Well, I hope he's busy at the moment and I will obviously speak with him and, in football, you never know." Just only joined Motherwell from Danish club Horsens a year ago and is under contract until next summer, with the Scottish Premiership club having an option of extending that by a further year. However, he had already been linked with champions Celtic before his three World Cup goals followed an impressive first season in Scottish football during which he helped Well finish fourth. "The World Cup has given me added belief and also motivation to keep pushing," Just told the NZ Herald. "There was a point in my career, one or two years ago, where I wasn't quite sure what level I was going to be. "I was a little bit stuck and maybe plateaued a little bit, so now you have a little bit of a new energy and new belief. "I definitely want to test myself, see how far I can go. It's something that everybody wants to do. "Coming to the World Cup gave me a taste of playing against top, top players. So we'll see what happens." Nevertheless, Just admitted he is "looking forward to seeing all my pals and meeting the new coach" after former Rosenborg boss Alfred Johansson replaced Toulouse-bound Jens Berthel Askou.
