Ivan Ramis has joined La Liga side Levante after his contract with Wigan Athletic was cancelled by mutual consent.
The Spanish defender had been at the DW Stadium since 2012, when he joined from Real Mallorca, but he was limited to 49 league appearances due to injury.
He suffered a cruciate ligament injury in early 2013 that ruled him out for the best part of a year, meaning he missed out on the run to FA Cup final glory and the club's subsequent Europa League campaign.
Wigan boss Malky Mackay said: "Ivan asked if there was a chance he could go back to Spain because he sees his life back there again.
"He’s not playing at the moment and is out of contract in the summer and we felt that in both our interests, this was the best solution to go to Levante.
