DARREN Currie has left Wycombe Wanderers and is now hunting a new club.

The flamboyant playmaker left by mutual consent yesterday after a meeting with manager Tony Adams.

Currie said: "My contract has come to an end. I did have an option that the club could not afford to take up and we agreed to part by mutual consent.

"It was very difficult saying goodbye to the lads yesterday and I will miss everyone especially the fans who have been brilliant to me."

"I have had three very enjoyable years here and I hope that one day I will be able to return to the club again in some capacity or other."

Currie, 29, scored nine goals for the Blues this season and was runner-up in the club's Player of the Year poll, but he has found himself on the bench in recent weeks as Adams builds for the future in the third division.

Currie said: "I'm really unhappy that my last season with the club has ended in relegation. It wasn't the way I wanted it to end."

Now Currie, nephew of former Leeds star Tony Currie, is hoping to step up in class.

He said: "I feel I can play in Division One. I feel fit and strong I know I've got the same old problem I have had since I was one, in that I'm too slow, but I think I have got the skills to make up for that."

Second division clubs Blackpool, Oldham and Barnsley have already shown an interest in the player, who joined Blues in a £200,000 deal from Barnet in July 2001.

Currie said: "I don't know what will happen. It's always a bit of a worrying time. I haven't got anything that is 100 per cent concrete but I have got about seven or eight things that are about 75 per cent."
