Crystal Palace

LEANDRE GRIFFIT harbours no ill feeling with Neil Warnock after he was told to leave by the Crystal Palace boss.

GRIFFIT only made six appearances after joining from Swedish club Elfsborg on a six-month deal in August but Warnock opted not to extend the 24-year-old winger's contract.

GRIFFIT said: "I had a really good time at the club. I've met some great people and played with some great players.

"I had a really long chat with the gaffer last week and we decided it would be best for both parties that I leave the club.

"I've left happy, I'm not resentful. I fully respect Neil Warnock and there is no bad feelings towards him or the club.

"I have some English clubs interested in taking me - but I don't want to commit to anything just yet.

"But if the right offer came along from an English club then I would like to stay here because I've had a great time."
