The midfielder, who joined for £5million from Tottenham in 2011, had barely featured since Wolves' relegation from the Championship in 2013.

A brief statement on the club website read: "Jamie O'Hara has left Wolves with immediate effect, following the cancellation of his contract by mutual consent.

"The club wishes him well for the future. There will be no further comment."

O'Hara, a pariah among supporters following the club's 2013 relegation from the Championship, had made just two substitute appearances under current head coach Kenny Jackett.

And while the timing of his exit may be something of a surprise, Wolves had already made clear his future lay away from the club.

Signed by former boss Mick McCarthy following an impressive loan spell, O'Hara was part of a team which suffered successive relegations and angered supporters with his antics as Wolves exited the second tier at Brighton in May last year.

With Jackett looking to revamp the squad when he took the reins later that month, O'Hara found himself surplus to requirements though he did make several appearances for the club's under-21 side.

Problems with fitness saw him take a three week intensive training course in America, while he also had an unsuccessful trial at Blackpool.
