Philippe Senderos has left Aston Villa after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

Switzerland international Senderos joined Villa on a free transfer from Valencia in June 2014.

However, the former Arsenal, Everton and Fulham centre-back played just nine games in 18 months for the Premier League club.

He initially impressed for Villa but picked up a thigh injury on international duty in October 2014 and was then sidelined for four weeks.

The 30-year-old returned the following month against West Ham but suffered a calf injury while training with Switzerland and has not played for Villa since.

"Aston Villa and Philippe Senderos have mutually agreed to terminate the defender's contract," said a statement on the club's website.
