Ledley ready to play abroad as he targets regular action

Ledley was released by the Premier League club after making just 21 appearances in the previous campaign, the last of which came in February's 4-0 loss to Sunderland.

"There have been clubs in touch with my agent all over the world," Ledley told British media.

"I'd be prepared to go abroad. I think it would appeal to me, especially having played international football because I love playing on that stage and I think it suits the way I play.

"I'll see the options I have and go from there."

The Wales international played in his nation's recent World Cup qualifiers, a goalless draw with Ireland in March and a 1-1 draw with Serbia on Sunday.

He believes leaving Palace was the best course of action.

"It's been frustrating. I don't know why I've not been even in the squads, but it was the decision of the manager (Allardyce) and I had to deal with it and get on with it," Ledley said.

"It's definitely for the best. I spent three-and-a-half years at the club and gave my all there and I think the fans know that.

"When you're not getting picked for as long as I wasn't then you have to do something about it... I need to be playing, especially at my age having turned 30 now."
