Newcastle United release Jonas Gutierrez, Ryan Taylor

Newcastle United announce that midfielder Jonas Gutierrez will be released from the club when his contract expires next month.

Newcastle United have announced that midfielder Jonas Gutierrez will be released from the club when his contract expires at the end of next month.

The Argentine, who missed the first half of the 2014-15 season while fighting testicular cancer, scored and provided an assist in the team's 2-0 win over West Ham United on the final day of the season, helping them avoid relegation.

Ryan Taylor, who returned to action this season after overcoming two knee ligament injuries, will also be released after six years with the club.

Managing director Lee Charnley said in a statement on the club's website: "Ryan and Jonas have both contributed significantly to Newcastle United over a number of years and on behalf of the board, I would like to place on record our sincere thanks to both players for the excellent service they have given the club.

"It was a great pleasure to see Ryan and Jonas come back into the team in recent weeks and compete at the highest level after the injury and illness battles they have had to overcome.

"To come through those difficult periods with such strength and dignity will have given hope and inspiration to many and it is clear that our supporters have a deep connection and affection for both players, as does everyone associated with the club."

Gutierrez made 205 appearances for the club after joining in 2008, while Taylor played in 110 games.
