Habib Beye to leave Doncaster Rovers

Habib Beye will be leaving Doncaster Rovers this summer, it has been confirmed.

The defender only joined the side permanently in February, making his initial loan deal from Aston Villa permanent.

The Senegal international signed an 18-month contract at the Keepmoat Stadium, having had his contract cancelled by Villa by mutual consent.

Beye featured 22 times for Rovers last season as they suffered relegation to League One, however, Doncaster boss Dean Saunders said the former Newcastle man will not be at the club next season.

"We've come to an agreement with Habib," said Saunders. "We haven't done the paperwork yet, but he won't be here next season."

Beye moved to England in 2007 when he joined Newcastle from Marseille.
