Leeds Terminate Morris Contract
Last updated : 07 March 2004 By Kevin Markey
The former Chelsea midfielder has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Elland Road.
The club confirmed the decision in a statement.
It said: 'Leeds United Football Club and Jody Morris have reached an agreement today as a result of which, Jody will be leaving the club.
'Jody's career has not progressed as he would have wished in recent months and he has not featured regularly in the Leeds team.
'Jody wishes the players and staff all the best and good luck in their fight to avoid relegation.
'The terms and conditions of his departure are confidential. Neither party intends to make any further comment on this matter.'
Morris joined Leeds in July last year after he was released by Chelsea, but any hope that he could establish himself at Elland Road were undermined when he was arrested in October by police investigating an alleged sexual assault on a 20-year-old woman.
He was released on police bail but charged with rape by West Yorkshire Police in November.
Morris appeared in court but the case was dropped in January after new forensic evidence came to light.
