Premier League - Yorke released by Sunderland
Eurosport - Thu, 28 May 16:52:00 2009
Trinidad and Tobago international Dwight Yorke has been released by Sunderland, along with six other players.
The 37-year-old, who is out of contract at the Stadium of Light, was, as expected, not included when the club released its retained list.
Yorke, who signed for Sunderland from Sydney FC in 2006, barely figured for the Black Cats this season, starting just four league games.
Striker David Connolly, midfielder Arnau Rier and goalkeepers Darren Ward and Nick Colgan were also told they will have to search for pastures new.
Young defenders Peter Hartley and Niall McArdle completed the list of unwanted players.
Defenders Calum Davenport and Tal Ben Haim will return to West Ham United and Manchester City respectively after their loan deals ended.

Didn't release anyone of significance anyway - who of those would any new manager want to keep?
You'd think they would get a manager b4 releasing players!
