Řepka released by České Budějovice

The former Czech soccer international Tomáš Řepka has been released by České Budějovice. His contract was due to run until the summer but the club reached agreement with the combative defender on terminating his contract at the end of next month. After being sent off in a game against Jablonec last month, Řepka was dropped from the first team squad and began training on his own. The defender, who is 38, has previously played for Fiorentina, West Ham and Sparta Prague.
