Chelsea's longest-serving player, Matej Delac, leaves with no appearances and no regrets

The Blues have allowed a player to move on who spent almost his entire eight-year stint on the books at Stamford Bridge away from the club on loan

Matej Delac remains positive about his eight-year spell as part of Chelsea's loan army after leaving on a free transfer to join AC Horsens in the Danish Superliga.

The 25-year-old joined Chelsea in 2010, with the Blues having signed the then 17-year-old goalkeeper from Inter Zapresic, where he had already been called up to Croatia's squad as third-choice goalkeeper.

However, he could not break through at Stamford Bridge and work permit issues contributed to him going out on loan to eight different clubs, in eight different countries.
