Former Manchester United and Burnley midfielder Chris Eagles has been released from Blackpool.

The 29-year-old former Manchester United youngster joined the Seasiders in November on a short-term contract, which expired this weekend.

Manager Lee Clark said: "We'll not be renewing Chris's contract, we'll be using the finance for that one elsewhere.

"We've got other areas where we need to strengthen."

Eagles made seven appearances for Blackpool and scored one goal, in the 2-2 draw at Charlton last month.
