Nathan Tjoe-A-On has left Swansea City by mutual consent.
The full-back, who's won 12 caps for Indonesia, was signed from Excelsior for a fee believed to be around £350k back in the summer of August 2023.
He has since become a big star among Indonesian fans, amassing millions of social media followers, and he was the first player from the country to make an EFL appearance.
However, he has largely struggled to make an impact on the first team - firstly under Michael Duff and then under Luke Williams.
He was loaned out to Dutch side Heerenveen in January 2024, and his chances of first-team football have shown little sign of improving under current boss Alan Sheehan.

It's not yet known whether the 23-year-old has another destination lined up, but he leaves Swansea despite previously having a year left to run on his current deal.
In total, he made just three appearances for the Swans, with his only two starts coming in last season's EFL Cup campaign, which included an embarrassing defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers.
His only outing in the league came as a late substitute against Preston North End back in August.

Tjoe-A-On's departure is the latest move away from what was widely seen as a disastrous recruitment drive in the summer of 2023 under previous sporting director Paul Watson.
Of the 13 players brought in that summer, only five players remain, with Kristian Pedersen and Mykola Kuharevich among the latest to depart.
That number could yet dwindle further before the summer is over, with the club also likely to listen to offers for striker Jerry Yates, who spent last season on loan at Derby County.

Ex-Chelsea star offers help to family of tragic tourist who died after plunging into active volcano crater during hike
AN EX-Chelsea footie star has offered to help the family of a young backpacker who died after slipping into a volcano during a hike. Juliana Marins, 26, tumbled more than 1,000ft from the ridge of Mount Rinjani in Indonesia down into the active crater, where she became trapped.

She fell on the Saturday and her body was removed from the area on Wednesday. Now, Alexandre Pato - a former Brazil and Chelsea player - has offered to cover the cost of repatriating her body back to Brazil. It's unclear whether Juliana's family have accepted the kind gesture. Advertisement The devastated family has already gone public wit fierce criticism of Juliana's tour guide and the rescue effort. Her sister Marianna told Fantástico that Juliana was abandoned by her guide on the hike when she "got very tired" and stopped for a rest. Marianna said: "They continued on, and the guide didn't stay with her." Juliana was one of five travellers on the hike, led by a single tour guide. Advertisement And her family accused the Indonesian authorities of not doing enough to reach Juliana in time. They wrote: 'Juliana suffered serious negligence from the rescue team. Two killed and one injured in plane crash after pilot lost control while trying to dodge a turtle on the runway 'If they had reached her within the estimated seven-hour window, Juliana would still be alive. 'She deserved so much more. Now we will seek justice for her, because that's what she deserves.' Advertisement Juliana was from Rio de Janeiro and lived in neighbouring Niterói. She had graduated in advertising and worked as a pole dancer and publicist. 9 Pato celebrates scoring for Chelsea against Villa in a Premiere League game Credit: PA:Press Association 9 Juliana slipped and fell from a high ridge Credit: Jam Press Advertisement 9 Fog and bad weather made the rescue operation much more difficult Credit: AP 9 Juliana had been travelling around south-east Asia Credit: Jam Press In a heartbreaking clip shared by her friend Federica, Juliana could be seen smiling at the base camp of the volcano before she fell. The two young women joked about the view, as it had clouded over. Advertisement In the clip Federica says sarcastically: "The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it." Juliana jokes: "Yeh, we did it for the view, so I'm glad, amazing!". While searches were still underway, her sister, Mariana, said: 'We were told that Juliana panicked because she didn't know what to do – and that's what led to her disappearance. 'When the guide realised she was taking too long, he returned and saw she had fallen far below.' Advertisement Pato, 35, hung his boots in 2023 and last November began a career as a sports commentator. He scored 10 goals in 27 appearances for Brazil's national team between 2008 and 2013. He only played twice for Chelsea – in 2016 – but still managed to find the net in an away match against Aston Villa. In his career, he also played for Italian giants AC Milan and Spanish side Villareal. Advertisement
