Fremantle Football Club and injury-plagued midfielder Harley Bennell have mutually parted ways.

WAtoday understands the decision was mutual between the footballer and the club, after he re-injured his left calf during his fourth straight WAFL match last week.

The news comes after Bennell signed a one-year contract extension with the club in October last year.

Bennell was a number two draft pick when he was picked up by the Gold Coast Suns in the 2010 draft, and played 81 games for the side.
