Danish Super Liga club SønderjyskE Fodbold have cancelled the contract of Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi Onazi.
Onazi signed a one-year contract with SønderjyskE in October 2020, with an option to extend the deal with two further years.
Both parties have however agreed to part ways six months before the contract expires.
The 28-year-old has struggled for regular playing time at the club and made just two league appearances.
The club’s sportiyng director Hans Jørgen Haysen thanked Onazi for his professionalism during his time at the club.
“There is not a finger to put on Onazi’s efforts in SønderjyskE. He has been a professional to the tips of his toes and he has fitted in well with the group with his dedication and he has also scooped out his experience to the young players on the team,”Haysen told the club’s official website.
“He came with a backlog from an injury, but he has been in almost all training sessions with us, and he played regularly in the Sydbank Cup and a few games in the Super League. However, it did not turn out quite as he and we had hoped, and he himself has expressed that he might fit better into another league than the Superliga, and he now has the opportunity to try it out.
“We thank him for his efforts in the light blue jersey and wish him all the best for the future.”
Onazi has struggled to stay fit since rupturing his achilles during his time at Turkish club Trabzonspor in December 2016.
