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.

Northern Ireland star and former Larne and Portadown hero secures switch to ambitious EFL outfit
The ambitious EFL League Two club have recruited the former Larne and Portadown frontman from Dutch second-tier side ADO Den Haag. Bonis (25) impressed after making the switch to the Netherlands from Larne in the summer of 2024, bagging 11 League goals to help fire Den Haag into the Promotion Play-Offs. He missed out on the chance to play in the Eredivisie in the 2025/26 season after the Storks lost out over two legs to eventual Play-Off winners Telstar, but it was still a highly successful campaign for the former Seagoe man as he also made his senior Northern Ireland debut in a goalless draw against Belarus back in October. Bonis remained in Michael O'Neill's fold and played in both legs of a friendly double-header against Switzerland and Sweden in March as well as the home victory over Iceland in June. Now he will aim to help the Spireites – who reached the League Two Play-Offs in 2024/25, their first season back in the EFL after gaining promotion from the National League – push on and make a fresh bid to reach the third-tier. Bonis is no stranger to silverware having previously won back-to-back Irish League crowns with Larne in 2023 and 2024 prior to his Den Haag switch as well as the Championship title in 2020 with Portadown, from whom he was a reported £100,000 purchase for the Invermen back in January 2022. 'We are delighted to announce the arrival of Northern Ireland international Lee Bonis from Dutch side ADO Den Haag for an undisclosed fee,' confirmed Chesterfield on social media. ADO Den Haag posted on their channels: 'Lee Bonis will no longer play for ADO Den Haag next season. 'The club has reached an agreement with Chesterfield on the transfer of the 25-year-old Northern Ireland striker.'

'Special' Liverpool star who left Jurgen Klopp speechless could unlock £50m deal
With Liverpool and Arne Slot reportedly in hot pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, young winger Ben Doak, who once wowed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, could play catalyst Liverpool could offer youngster Ben Doak to Crystal Palace in their bid to recruit £50million defender Marc Guehi, it's been claimed. The 19-year-old was once lauded by former boss Jurgen Klopp, who branded him a special talent The Reds are yet to put their wallet away in the transfer market, having already secured the services of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen as well as left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for a combined £186m. Now, attention has turned to another defensive reinforcement in light of centre-back Jarrell Quansah's expected departure, and England star Guehi is high on the club's list. It is alleged that the 24-year-old would cost the Reds around £50m, but to reduce that cash sum, new reports suggest young Scottish winger Doak, who has received glowing praise from Anfield royalty in the past, may be thrown into a swap deal for Guehi. The Sun claim that the 19-year-old is valued at £25m by Liverpool, and the club will attempt to use him to entice Palace to part with Guehi this window. The defender is out of contract in 2026. Doak first burst onto the scene in 2021 as a Celtic youth prospect, making his debut in a Scottish Premiership win against Dundee United that year. He was signed by the Reds in 2022 for around £600,000 and made his Liverpool bow in an EFL Cup tie against Derby County. Doak rapidly progressed through the club's U18 set-up, scoring on his first start for them, and quickly became too good even for the U21 side. Under Klopp, Doak impressed, and the German manager hailed his impact. In a 4-2 friendly win against German side Karlsruher in July 2023, Klopp was lost for words when describing Doak, saying: "Ben Doak, oh my God, it's much fun to watch these kids." Later that year, Klopp was asked about some of his squad's youngsters, and he said: "Ben Doak, obviously nice signs, he's with us in training again. Special boy, really confident, has something nobody else delivers, really. "This kind of dribbling, this kind of straight-forward bravery, all these kind of things. Technically, really good, high speed, super-promising, but very young." The following year, Doak, who was recovering from a knee injury, was called up to Steve Clarke's provisional Scotland squad for Euro 2024 and received a seal of approval from ex-Liverpool ace Danny Murphy. "He is a super quick, explosive winger," Murphy told talkSPORT. "I don't know where he is at fitness-wise, but he gives you something so different because of his pace. He's got amazing, explosive pace, which could cause teams problems off the bench." However, Doak failed to make the final squad due to his ailment and was sent on loan to Middlesbrough over the summer. He scored three times in the Championship this season and registered seven assists. Though he is evidently held in incredibly high regard, Doak's exit could now enable the Merseyside arrival of Guehi, as the Reds gear up for a top-flight title defence.
