Former Blackpool defender Tom Aldred is set to depart Brisbane Roar following five years with the Australian club.

News.com.au claims that the 33-year-old has made his final outing for the A-League outfit, with his last game coming against Adelaide United at Suncorp Stadium last week.

It is believed, the Western Sydney Wanderers and Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters are both interested in securing the services of the centre back.
