DeCosta exits Leeds

Portuguese winger Filipe Da Costa has left Leeds United after the remainder of his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.
Da Costa only made just one start during his stay with The Whites and even then that showing resulted in a red card against Bury in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
It actually took some time for Leeds to land the winger after claims by Greek club Ionikos that Da Costa was still under contract with them when he signed.
After he eventually signed he was used as a late substitute by former manager Dennis Wise, who ended up branding him a luxury player.
Wise hinted Da Costa may be loaned out as he was struggling to get to grips with the style of football in England, but a move never materialised due to injury
He underwent a trial at Falkirk earlier this year, but with little prospect of featuring under new manager Gary McAllister the club have now cancelled the remainder of his deal.

Good luck to him. Clearly not up to the job and better to see McAllister is planning for next season already trying to trim the squad to leave room for better players. Westlake and Heath are sure to go?

Looked like he had a bit of skill in that cup game, Darlo wan't it? But he went and got sent off, don't think he could cope with the physical side of the game.
