Get out of signing a pre contract agreement?

I'm pretty sure that any "Get out clauses" would have been included before a player signing a contract.

This is correct. Otherwise there would be no point in signing one in the first place. But yes, there could always be 'get clauses' written in such as relegation, change of manager etc. If there aren't any 'get out clauses' in the pre contract agreement, then it's as good as signing a contract, and the player will be legally bound to honour it.
