Foran has been in Britain since moving from Shelbourne to Carlisle in 2001

Southend United striker Richie Foran has left the club by mutual consent.

The Irishman has failed to hold down a regular first-team place since his arrival at Roots Hall in January 2007.

The 28-year-old cost �150,000 from Motherwell but started just 10 games and made 12 further appearances as a substitute, scoring two goals.

The ex-Carlisle striker had two loan spells with Darlington and, although a summer move to Aberdeen, fell through he looks set to return to Scotland.
