Claude Davis

Crystal Palace have released Claude Davis and Pablo Counago.

Centre half Davis, 32, joined from Derby on a free transfer in 2009 and was a regular under former manager Neil Warnock but slipped down the pecking order at the back.

Forward Counago, 31, came to Palace on a season-long loan from Ipswich at the start of the season and also found it difficult to cement a place in the side.

Davis, who was out of contract, made 57 appearances while Counago played 32 times and scored on two occasions.

Midfielder Gavin Mahon, who signed from QPR in March on loan until the end of the season, has gone back without playing a game.

Meanwhile, reserve team coach Dean Austin has been let go.
