Former England defender Cahill leaves Palace

LONDON, Aug 1 — Former England defender Gary Cahill announced today that he had left Crystal Palace after two seasons at the Premier League club.

“After much thought and deliberation, I can confirm that I have left Crystal Palace FC after an enjoyable two years,” Cahill tweeted .

“It’s been a privilege to play at Selhurst Park, especially in that first season where I got to experience the atmosphere that the Eagles fans create on a match day.”

Cahill did not indicate what his future plans were.
