FC Tokyo on Monday announced the release of striker Fran Sandaza.

The Spaniard arrived in the capital last summer, but has yet to score a goal in a total of nine MEIJI YASUDA J1 League appearances.

“I want to thank everyone for their support from the day I joined the club,” Sandaza said.

“I wanted to give my best for our fans, but unfortunately it’s time for me to leave the club. I wish FC Tokyo the best.”
