Malcolm Ebiowei signed a contract with Blackpool on August 5, moving from Crystal Palace.

The agreement was for two years with an option to extend for another.

Ebiowei, who is 22, was pleased to join the League One club, hoping for stable play in the main squad.

But in less than a month from the signing of the contract, his agreement was annulled.

Stephen Bruce's team did not provide any explanations for the reasons behind this decision.

At the same time, the club released a short statement confirming the player's departure.

Blackpool announced: “Blackpool Football Club informs that Malcolm Ebiowei has left the club by mutual consent. The club wishes Malcolm all the best in the future.”

Ebiowei had four substitute appearances for Blackpool, but the team lost all the matches.

He was not included in the squad for the game against Bolton, which ended in a 1-1 draw, just five days before the contract was terminated.
