Hamilton Accies release attacking duo Tunde Owolabi and Justin Johnson

Hamilton Accies have released attacking duo Justin Johnson and Tunde Owolabi.

Lanarkshire Live Sport understands the pair have been released from their contracts and will leave the club this January transfer window.

Johnson - who last week hinted at his exit in a Twitter post which was quickly deleted - made seven appearances for Accies since arriving in the summer, with his last outing on December 23 last year in a 2-0 defeat to Livingston.

Owolabi excited fans upon his arrival after scoring an impressive 35 goals for FC United of Manchester and it's believed that a return to the English club is on the cards.

The 25 year-old failed to score a single goal in the red and white hoops and last featured off the bench in the 0-0 draw with St Johnstone on December 30.

It's understood that Owolabi worked extremely hard to be a success at Hamilton but the imminent arrival of Bruce Anderson on loan and Mario Ogkmpoe's return from injury would have severely restricted his chance of first-team football.
