The annual  'clean-out' continues, as British clubs pare down their squad sizes and and start the process of rebuilding for next season. We have seen a few Americans fall along the way, over the past few days Zak Whitbread and Jon-Paul Pittman have been released, now goalkeeper Cody Cropper join's the list.

According to the MK Don's web-site, the club has decided not to exercise its contract with Cody when it expires at the end of June. 

"Cropper joined the Dons as a free agent last summer and made 12 appearances during the 2015/16 campaign, nine of which came in the Sky Bet Championship"

Cody, who is still only 23,  came up through the Ipswich Town program, before moving to Southampton in August of 2012. He stayed with Southampton until last season when he moved last July to MK Don's as a free agent.  Cody represented the US in the U20 and U23 levels and was included in Jurgen Klinsmann's 23 man Confederation Cup squad.

According to SBI, Cody has stated a desire to return to the US, possibly with Atlanta (his home town) or Minnesota, both MLS Expansion teams

Good Luck in the future to Cody
