Motherwell have released Louis Laing after the defender spent the first half of the season on loan to Notts County.
The 23-year-old played 27 times for the English League Two outfit, but his contract with the Scottish Premiership club has ended by mutual consent.
Laing had joined Well from Nottingham Forest, initially on loan, in January 2015 and made 31 appearances.
He had previously had a loan spell with County, playing 12 times for the Magpies.
Transfer deadline day passed without any major changes to Mark McGhee's Motherwell squad.
They failed in an attempt to sign Turkish striker Nadir Ciftci from Celtic on loan.
