Vaesen leaves Blues for Belgium

Goalkeeper Nico Vaesen has opted to move back to his homeland with Belgium club Lierse after being released from his contract at Birmingham City.

The 36-year-old joined the Blues from Huddersfield in the summer of 2001.

The veteran keeper said: "I want to still show something to Belgium. My work there is not finished which motivates me enormously.

"There were more clubs that showed interest in me, but Lierse were most concrete in their offer."
