Mike Havenaar released by Cordoba

Cordoba have released Japanese international Mike Havenaar on a free transfer, just four months after the forward joined the club.

The 27-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Spanish outfit this summer after departing Vitesse on a free transfer.

However, the forward failed to settle in Spain, making just five appearances and registering no goals before the winter break.

On Wednesday, both parties came to an agreement that would see Havenaar depart on a free transfer.

The forward, who was born to Dutch parents in Japan, is expected to return to the country of his birth.
