Moving Player to Club who is on a Trial, seems to permanently bug them as on Trial

So having had a player on a Trial at my club, I wanted to sign him but his wage demands were unrealistic. So with the FMRTE I tried to use the "Move to Club" option to force move him to my club. This is something that has worked fine in previous years of FM and FMRTE. However this time although he has got a contract and is for all purposes a member of my team, he still is being seen as on trial in the game and therefore he's unavailable to play in any matches. I can cancel the trial in the game, but this doesn't seem to remove the trial status and allow him to play. I can use FMRTE to end his contract with the club which then allows me to release him completely, but then I am constantly getting emails from my staff to say his trial has ended every few days. If he joins another club he seems unable to play for them either as the Trial status seems to still persist, even after signing a contract for a new team.
