Premier League side Wolves have gone to a great length to remove a former star player from their squad.

The Midlands team have terminated the contract of Jonny Castro Otto by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old has not been playing for Wolves since December when he got into a bust up on the training ground.

An official statement from Wolves read: "Jonny has left the club after his five-and-a-half-year spell with Wolves came to an end.

"The Spaniard is now free to join another club after his contract was canceled by mutual consent."

Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: "Jonny hasn't played a lot of football over the last couple of years, so he wants to go and play and we're happy to give him that chance. He's been a great servant to us, so we tried to make this happen for him as quickly as possible.

"Doc is the last one left from the starting Europa League group, and he came back, so Jonny leaving is another one gone from that era, from a group of players that will always be welcomed back to the club, for what they did for the club and Jonny will be held in the same regard.

"In the modern era, he was part of the most successful team we've had, so the only way Jonny should be remembered is for being an important part of it.

"Every team needs players where the manager knows exactly what he's going to get. He raised one child here and had another here and loved the city. When you come to putting a team together, that's really important."
