West Ham cancel Ravel Morrison contract

West Ham United have announced that they have reached an agreement with Ravel Morrison to cancel his contract.

The 22-year-old midfielder joined the Hammers in January 2012 after a two-year stint at Manchester United, going on to make 24 appearances in three years.

However, a series of disciplinary issues saw him sent out on loan to Championship clubs Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City.

He is now free to find a new club, with Italian capital outfit Lazio said to be interested in his services.
