Ivory Coast's Sol Bamba leaves Leeds United for personal reasons

Leeds United captain Sol Bamba has left the Championship club by mutual consent for personal reasons.


Ivory Coast international Bamba made 56 appearances for Leeds after signing from Italian Serie A side Palermo on an initial loan deal in January 2015.

The centre-back, 31, has not featured in Leeds' last three league matches.

He started his career at Paris St-Germain, and had spells with Hibernian, Dunfermline, Leicester and Trabzonspor before joining Palermo in August 2014.
