Former Dundee United captain Willo Flood has sensationally left Dunfermline just a week after signing up for the Pars.
The Irishman will now be moving to Indonesia to join Bali United where he will team up with another ex Tangerine Nick van der Velden.
When he left Tannadice at the end of last season Flood had expressed a desire to finish his career abroad.
Therefore it was something of a surprise when he signed up for The Pars.
It was after that the chance to sign for Bali arose and following a meeting with East End Park boss Allan Johnston it was agreed to terminate his contract, a gesture Flood appreciated.
He said: “I would like to thank Allan and the club for their understanding in this matter, as I fully appreciate it leaves them in a very difficult and embarrassing position.
“This opportunity is just too good for me and my family to turn down.
“I have only been in training for a week, but I have really enjoyed my short time at East End Park and genuinely wish the club every success this season.”
Allan Johnston added: “We are obviously disappointed to lose a player of Willo’s experience, but he had a clause in his contract for a very short window to allow him to move abroad.
“There is simply no point retaining an unhappy player at our club.
“However, we have retained the first option on Willo, should he return to Scotland, as he has already proved to be a great professional.”
