Matt Lawrence

Crystal Palace defenders DANNY BUTTERFIELD, Matt Lawrence and Clint Hill have left the club.

Both BUTTERFIELD and Lawrence's contracts expire on the 1st July and BUTTERFIELD has indicated to Palace that he has agreed a contract with another club.

George Burley said to the Croydon Advertiser: "I spoke with the boy BUTTERFIELD but he had already had an offer from another club and I felt we couldn't match that.

"Matt Lawrence has also been allowed to leave. Neither will be coming into training tomorrow."

Hill, 31, has followed Shaun Derry and signed for Neil Warnock's QPR.

Meanwhile Burley is looking to add more players to his squad in the coming weeks.

"I'm hoping to add six or seven more in the next few weeks," he said. "We are extremely close with one or two and we're hoping to announce at least one by the end of the week."
