Curier departs

Mikael Antoine Curier has been released by Athletic. Curier had been playing on non contract terms since the start of the season. The Frenchman had a blistering start and scored three goals in his first three games but then he failed to score in his next five games. The last couple of games saw him relegated to Iain Dowie’s subs bench. He made nine appearances in total and was released because of the arrival of Calvin Zola and the return to fitness of Chris Killen.
