The Scotland international made 19 appearances during his three seasons with the Saddlers where he was mainly used as a back-up. The 6ft 2inc stopper then switched to Shrewsbury Town a year before moving to Portsmouth.

MacGillivray helped Pompey get to the Play-Offs in the 2019/20 campaign but they narrowly missed out last season.

He is heading out the exit door and is not short of potential suitors, with Ipswich joining Charlton and Peterborough in the race for his signature.

The Tractor Boys have a busy summer ahead of them as Paul Cook looks to bolster his ranks and could see him as an option to be their number one.
