Stoke City confirm Jermaine Pennant exit

Stoke City have confirmed that Jermaine Pennant has been released.

The winger rejoined the club in the summer, but a clause in his contract allowed the side to review his place in the squad this month.

The Potters announced today that the 31-year-old, who has not made a Premier League start this season, is free to look for a new club after they decided to activate the clause.

Pennant first joined the club on loan from Real Zaragoza in 2010, making the move permanent the following year.
