Jody Morris’ troubled time at Leeds was ended today when the club and the player agreed to terminate his contract.

The former Chelsea midfielder, who was accused then cleared of rape last year, has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Elland Road.

The club confirmed the decision in a statement.

It said: “Leeds United Football Club and Jody Morris have reached an agreement today as a result of which, Jody will be leaving the club.

“Jody’s career has not progressed as he would have wished in recent months and he has not featured regularly in the Leeds team.

“Jody wishes the players and staff all the best and good luck in their fight to avoid relegation.

“The terms and conditions of his departure are confidential. Neither party intends to make any further comment on this matter.”
