Solkhon has failed to cement a first-team place

Rushden & Diamonds have given Brett Solkhon a free transfer with immediate effect.

Solkhon has failed to cement a place in manager Brian Talbot's first team at Nene Park.

And on Wednesday the club announced the 20-year-old defender would leave the club imminently.

Solkhon, who helped the club's youth side to the Southern Merit Second Division title last season, has made just one first-team appearance this season.

Tarkan Mustafa and Scott Partridge, meanwhile, have returned following loan spells at Doncaster Rovers and Exeter City respectively.
