Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Lewis McGugan has left the club by mutual consent.
The former Watford player spent two spells on loan at Hillsborough before eventually joining the Owls on a permanent deal in July 2015.
McGugan scored nine goals in 39 appearances for Wednesday but has not featured for them this season and is now deemed surplus to requirements.
The Owls signed Heerenveen defender Joost van Aken on Wednesday, while George Boyd made the move from Burnley after his contract expired.
A number of fringe players have been released during the summer as manager Carlos Carvalhal looks to get his squad in shape ready for a promotion push.
Sheffield Wednesday are live on Sky later on the same day. Coverage of their Sky Bet Championship game with Nottingham Forest begins on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football at 5:15pm.
