Chelsea's longest-serving player to leave club | OneFootball

Matej Delač announced he would be joining Danish Superliga side AC Horsens in the summer without playing a single match for Chelsea.

The 25-year-old goalkeeper was Chelsea’s longest-serving player, having signed from Croatian side NK Inter Zaprešić in 2009.

Delač amassed an incredible 10 loan spells during his nine-year run with the Blues, yet doesn’t regret signing for the London outfit.

“Many people ask me do I regret coming to Chelsea so young, and not joining some smaller club, but I feel no regret,” he said last November.

“Your career can always be better, but I am 25 and have been through so much, met many coaches, players, gained experience.

“The problem was not my quality, Chelsea believed in me, extended my contract several times, but the problem was always work permit. They had a plan for my career, but you can not plan some things.”
