John turns down new deal at Saints
The 32-year-old was out of contract this summer but new manager Alan Pardew wanted the Trinidad & Tobago forward to stay and offered him a new deal.
A statement said: "Stern John has turned down a generous new offer from the club.
"Over the past two weeks the club has held constructive dialogue with both the player and his agent and offered him an attractive two-year contract.
"However we have been informed that the player has declined this offer and as a free agent wishes to pursue other options within the Championship."
