"It's not only okay, but sometimes it's nice to leave the family and try something else. You can always come back to the family, so it's no problem for me.
"I'm going to miss them, but I have to try another challenge now."
Mathew, 23, joined Lillestrom from Hearts FC in July 2016 and was involved in 97 matches for the club, scoring 13 goals.
