Dundee United have terminated the contract of Rodney Sneijder amid concerns over the Dutch midfielder's health.
Sneijder - brother of Netherlands international Wesley - made just one appearance before returning to his home country with a suspected viral infection.
United manager Jackie McNamara said: "This is the best solution for Rodney first and foremost. We have a responsibility to protect the player's health moving forward and respect his current situation."
A club statement added: "Everyone at Dundee United wishes Rodney all the very best for the future. The club will replace any replica shirt which has been purchased and customised with the player's name."
Sneijder, who had previously been with Dutch second division outfit Almere City before joining United as a free agent in the summer, came off the bench in the opening game of the season against Aberdeen.
