Former Rangers man Josh Windass has become a free agent after his contract with Sheffield Wednesday was mutually terminated.
Windass joined the club in 2020 and has since made 182 appearances in their colours, scoring 53 goals.
Despite still having a year left on his deal at Hillsborough, the 31-year-old is now a free agent.
Indeed, Sky Sports claims that a pay dispute led to Windass' contract being mutually terminated. It is said that he was one of several Wednesday players who requested to leave the club for nothing after they weren't paid their wages for the third time in four months in June.

FIFA regulations meant that they were able to hand in a 15-day notice of intent to cancel their contracts. That deadline has now passed, and Windass is a free agent.
Wednesday confirmed his exit, along with that of striker Michael Smith, last night: "The Owls can confirm that the current contracts of Michael Smith and Josh Windass have been terminated by mutual consent," a statement read.
"Both players leave Hillsborough with immediate effect.
"Smith made 127 appearances for the Owls, scoring 33 goals, since signing in June 2022.
"Windass posted 182 appearances, scoring 53 goals, having joined Wednesday – initially on loan – in January 2020.
"Sheffield Wednesday thank Michael and Josh for their services and wish them well for the future."
