Scotland defender Liam Cooper has left Leeds United after 10 years with the club.
The centre-back, 33, has exited Elland Road upon the expiry of his contract to take up an opportunity overseas.
Cooper has been linked with a surprise move to Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia in recent days - but his next destination has not yet officially been confirmed.
The Scotland internationalist - who was not involved in the Nations League matches against Poland and Portugal - was a hugely popular figure at Leeds having won promotion to the Premier League with the club as captain.
Signed from Chesterfield in 2014, Cooper would go on to play 284 times for Leeds - and would earn his Scotland call-up in 2016 before becoming a regular squad member in 2020.
