All brilliant professionals on and off the pitch, with fantastic experience in the Premier League, and clearly loved and admired by their team-mates and everyone here at the Club.
“We still have three important matches to play this season. I know that their focus will be 100% on helping the team in any way they can in those games. But we felt it was important to confirm this news now, out of respect for them and the service they have given to the Club. It allows our supporters to show their appreciation at our final home match of the season.”
