Frustrated Cole ends his career

Cole quit the Championship club 11 days ago, frustrated by his lack of games since joining Colin Calderwood's side in the summer.

The 37-year-old, who had his best spells at Manchester United and Newcastle, told The Times today: 'It's not the ideal ending. It just wasn't working out. I told them from the outset I didn't want to go there to sit on the bench because I didn't want to be perceived as sitting back and making easy money. I wanted to go there and offer something."
