Manager Kevin Nolan has decided against offering the player a new contract and has released him alongside a host of his other teammates as part of the club's bid for a revamp.

"These decisions are some of the hardest, if not the hardest, we make as a management team and it's never an easy time for everyone involved,'' Nolan said of the development.

Ameobi was part of the Super Eagles World Cup party in Brazil 2014 and accrued a total of ten appearances for the national team, scoring twice.
