Burnley have released midfielder John Spicer and will listen to offers for goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.

Clarets boss Owen Coyle has confirmed the pair are not part of his plans, but has offered fresh terms to out-of-contract quintet Brian Jensen, David Unsworth, James O'Connor, Jon Harley and Jay Rodriguez.

"I have spoken to all the players individually and having spoken to Brian (Jensen), James (O'Connor) and Jon (Harley), we have offered them deals," he told the club's official website.

"They have obviously got other interests though so we await their replies.

"David (Unsworth) has been offered a one-year coaching deal as I feel he has a lot to offer this football club.

"His ability will be welcome on the coaching side of things, with regard to developing our young players, which is the way ahead."

Meanwhile, Coyle has revealed he intends to hold talks with on-loan striker Andrew Cole should he be released by parent club Sunderland in the summer.

"Andrew goes back to Sunderland and if they decide not to offer him anything, then obviously we will have a chat," he added.
