Belgian First Division A club Oostende have announced the departure of Joseph Akpala following the expiration of his contract.
The Super Eagles striker returned to the Versluys Arena outfit last summer, signing a year deal which ran out in June.
The 33-year-old forward only made seven appearances across all competitions for Alexander Blessin’s men last season due to injury problems.
The Kustboys revealed the Nigeria international’s contract will not be renewed along with Hasan Ozkan while Priestley Farquharson has also been released.
“Striker Joseph Akpala is not offered a new contract and is therefore again a free player,” read a statement from the club website.
