Crystal Palace

Striker RICARDO FULLER and defender Kenny Verhoene will not be offered deals to stay at Palace after unsuccessful trials with the club. Both players were brought into the club by Alan Smith, who was sacked two matches before the end of the season.

FULLER, who was rejected by Charlton Athletic after a trial period at the Valley, is currently on international duty with his country Jamaica.

He will be told he is no longer wanted at Selhurst Park when he returns next week.

Belgian central defender Verhoene came to the club after Neil Ruddock was given a free transfer.

Verhoene, however, also failed to break into the team and has now been told he has no future at Crystal Palace Football Club.
