The 23-year-old had made 10 starts in the league under Dave Challinor.

However, BBC Sport now believe it is ‘likely’ that Onyango will depart the Toffees this summer as a free agent.
Onyango has played 33 minutes of football across five appearances for Everton’s senior side over the years.
The midfielder has been on Everton’s books since he was just eight years old, with his senior debut coming in the FA Cup at the age of 17.
With his options on Merseyside extremely limited, Onyango has enjoyed a number of loan spells in recent years.
Now it looks as if his time has come to find a new home and secure himself regular football.
Another Everton academy graduate set to depart
Onyango’s expected departure only highlights the growing concern at Finch Farm surrounding academy players failing to make an impact on the senior side.
David Moyes wants more academy players in his first team, but Everton must provide him with players capable of having an effect.
Plans are being put in place to provide the academy with more of an opportunity to develop their in-house talent.
The Friedkins recently hired Dean Rastrick as Everton’s academy director, hoping he can help bridge the gap to the senior side.
There is clearly a big gap still between the U21s and Moyes’ senior squad.
