Mark Kennedy

Veteran midfielder Mark Kennedy is one of five players released by Crystal Palace.

A series of injuries restricted the 32-year-old to just eight appearances last season and the midfielder was told his contract won't be renewed.

Academy products Arron Fray, Ryan Hall, Ben Kudjodji and Moses Swaibu have also been let go by the Eagles.

Injury and form also hampered 21-year-old defender Fray's progress and he was unable to add to his two first-team appearances from 2005.

Winger Hall, who was accused of attacking a security guard at the Goals five-a-side centre in Beckenham in January, spent much of the campaign on loan in non-league.

Striker Kudjodji and defender Swaibu, both 19, failed to make the step up into the first team squad and leave after their pro deals have expired.
