Ipswich have granted Nigerian international Finidi George a free transfer.

Ipswich have granted Nigerian international Finidi George a free transfer.

The 31-year-old midfielder joined the Portman Road club in the summer of 2001 for £3million from Real Mallorca but his first season was hindered by a fractured cheekbone and his time spent on international duty at the African Nations Cup.

George has spent most of the season on the bench this season and he is expected to move on when the transfer window reopens in January.

Chairman David Sheepshanks told the club's website, www.itfc.co.uk: "Finidi is available on a free transfer and negotiations are under way with a number of interested parties."
