Midfielder Joey Barton has been released by Burnley, one month after being banned from football.

The 34 year old was suspended for 18 months after admitting a Football Association charge in relation to betting.

He joined the Clarets for a second spell in January after leaving Scottish Premiership side Rangers.

Boss Sean Dyche said: "Joey leaves us for the obvious reasons after he has again been a big part of what we have achieved this season."
