Defender's contract paid up by League One club

Oldham Athletic have released the versatile John Thompson with immediate effect. Thompson was under contract to the Latics until the end of the season, but his deal has been paid up by the League One club. The 27-year-old moved to Boundary Park from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2007, but injuries restricted his impact with John Sheridan's side. He made 11 appearances last season for Oldham, but had not featured this term before heading out on loan to Notts County in October. Thompson, who can play in defence or midfield, made 16 appearances for the Magpies and is now on the look-out for a new club.
