Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace released Jordon Mutch recently and he could return to the Championship with Norwich City or Bristol City.

Jordon Mutch needs a fresh start.

At the age of 27, the talented midfielder finds himself without a club after he was released by Crystal Palace earlier this month, bringing an end to four miserable years at Selhurst Park which consisted of just 31 league outings.

But, according to the Sun (16 January, page 53), there are still clubs willing to take a chance on the now-unattached Mutch.

It is understood that the former QPR and Cardiff City ace is on the radar of both Norwich and Bristol City, while he would jump at the chance to join a Championship club despite interest from Turkey.

Both the Canaries and the Robins have promotion ambitions right now, Norwich sitting second in the table while Lee Johnson’s Bristol City have soared up to seventh after a fine run of form.

And they obviously feel that Mutch is still capable of rediscovering the form he showed during his time at Cardiff. The former England U21 international scored seven Premier League goals for the Bluebirds in the 2013/14 season before an ill-fated £6 million move to QPR.
