"While delighted for him on a personal level, as he embarks on this adventure, we are equally heartbroken to be losing not only one of the finest defenders around but a first rate person as well," a club spokesperson said.
"We have no doubt he will be a huge success and the door will always be open for you here Lee," they added.
