Wigan have released South Korea international Cho Won-hee following a difficult two years in England.

Wigan cancel South Korean's contract

Wigan have released South Korean international Cho Won-hee. The 27-year-old joined Wigan in early 2009, but has spent the last year on-loan with his former club Suwon Bluewings. However, because he has not made enough international appearances over the past 12-months - he did not qualify for a new work permit when he looked to return to the UK. Now Wigan have cancelled his contract and he has signed for Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande. Wigan manager Roberto Martinez said: "We wish Won-hee all the best in the future, he was a wonderful character and a great professional who always gave his all for us."
