Chelsea's Morris and de Goey released

Midfielder Jody Morris and goalkeeper Ed de Goey will both be looking for new clubs after being released by Chelsea.

Midfielder Jody Morris and goalkeeper Ed de Goey will both be looking for new clubs after being released by Chelsea.

Morris came through the ranks at Stamford Bridge and made 173 first-team appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals.

The 24-year-old has struggled to establish himself in the team this season, starting 19 of his side’s 38 Premier League games and was unable to agree terms on a new contract, with his current deal expiring this summer.

He has already been linked with a move to Tottenham or Blackburn.

De Goey joined the Blues from Dutch club Feyenoord in June 1997. The giant 36-year-old goalkeeper, who has 31 caps for Holland, has played second fiddle to Carlo Cudicini and made just three appearances last season.

Sunderland goalkeeper Jurgen Macho is expected to step in as Claudio Ranieri’s deputy number one.
