Blues have today parted company with goalkeeper Richard Kingson after the player's registration was cancelled by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old had a year left on his contract but he has now been released and is able to join another club on a free transfer.

The Ghanaian international joined Blues last summer but made just one Premier League appearance during his year at Blues, in the 2-0 home defeat to Portsmouth in November, along with two Carling Cup run-outs.

"I'm sorry things didn't work out for Richard," said Blues boss Alex McLeish.

"It's about opinions and we have other plans so for the sake of his first team future, we have let Richard move on."
