Nicky Cadden was left gutted after being knocked back by Motherwell - but he says it's a crucial part of his journey.
The 25-year-old is flying high at League Two side Forest Green Rovers after a 2020 move south following a fruitful spell at Scottish Championship side Morton.
It's not been all plain-sailing for Cadden. Just as brother Chris - now at Hibs - got a professional deal at Motherwell, he was knocked back.
