Ex-Premier League striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has seen his comeback at Coventry City cut short after playing just 69 minutes for the Sky Blues.
Yakubu, 34, made headlines early this year when he signed for the League One strugglers on a deal until the end of the season.
After featuring for Coventry city thrice – with no goals to show forth – a mutual agreement between both parties have seen the player’s contract terminated.
He made his debut as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against AFC Wimbledon on February 14, and has played twice since, coming off the bench against Gillingham and Swindon, thus bringing his total appearance for the club to 69 minutes of football.
The former Nigerian international suffered a hamstring injury against the Robins and Coventry have now agreed to quash the deal they entered with him, Coventry Telegraph writes.
This was announced in a club statement Wednesday, which said the severance of his contract is with immediate effect.
“”The club can announce that former Everton striker Yakubu has had his contract mutually terminated, with immediate effect,” the statement read.
“The club would like to wish Yakubu all the best for the future.”
Nicknamed the Yak, Yakubu will now have to sort his future out elsewhere after enjoying successes with the likes of Everton, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth among others.
The former Julius Berger striker played for the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles for 10 years, scoring 21 goals in 57 appearances.
