06/07/16
Fabricio Coloccini’s Newcastle contract has been terminated by mutual consent, the club have confirmed.
The Argentine defender, who made 275 appearances for Newcastle in all competitions, will now return to his homeland to play for San Lorenzo.
Managing director Lee Charnley said: "It is rare in football these days that a player gives such length of service to one club and I would like to thank Colo for his contribution to Newcastle United since he joined us before the start of the 2008/09 season.
"In the eight years he has been with us, Colo has become a firm friend and colleague to many players and staff, past and present, who I know will miss him. We wish him all the very best for his future career."
