"I want to thank all the clubs I represented for allowing me the opportunity to do so," Jedinak posted on social media. "Coaches, staff, teammates, supporters, you all played your part so thank you... It's now time for a new chapter."He played there from 2011 to 2016, helping to guide the team back to the Premier League, before joining Aston Villa in 2016.
