As his time with the Shrimpers nears an end, Cordner has been speaking about his future with AFC Bournemouth.

His contract is set to expire this summer and now, the centre-back has confirmed he will be departing the Championship side at the end of the season.

Speaking with Echo News, the Southend loanee announced he will become a free agent at the end of his deal. Here’s what he had to say:

“My deal is up and I haven’t taken on another deal with them so I’m a free agent. I had an extension year. But, we both decided it would be better for me to go out and get games.

“I’ve been there six or seven years now. I feel like if I was going to make my breakthrough I’d have done it by now.

“It’s a good time for me to move on and carry on trying to get more games.”

Cordner departs without making a senior appearance for the Cherries.
