Durin arrived at Fratton Park from Italian side Atalanta for an undisclosed fee last summer. 

He made 11 appearances for Mark Kelly’s young Blues, while he was named on the bench for Kenny Jackett’s side’s 2-0 Checkatrade Trophy win at Southend in January.

Durin also had a brief spell on loan at Bognor.
