I thought Wells actually has made some good progress in the last couple of years. I was surprised Tassie cut him.
He'd actually been in and around the Shield team for nearly 10 years now and never achieved anything. And unfortunately the lack of depth in our batting isn't good enough that we can afford to contract guys for the benefit of the Matador Cup (because CA evidently doesn't care about that any more) and for the Hurricanes (who he's still signed for, and who theoretically are supposed to be a different entity).
He's kind of the batting version of Ben Laughlin last summer.
I'm surprised if he's moved to Perth looking for another opportunity though. Going back a few years he seemed fair ambivalent about whether he was going to be contracted, I think he was quite happy working at the bank, playing footy in winter, and playing for Tassie when picked. I actually always thought it was part of his problem - he never really had to be that motivated, he never had "the fear". Maybe it'll change now that his footy opportunity is long gone, particularly if he's invested that much in another chance at first class cricket.
