Oldham Athletic have announced that they have agreed to terminate the contract of Irish midfielder Jack Byrne - and Latics fans are far from happy.
The League Two club released a statement this evening, which read: "Oldham Athletic and Jack Byrne have mutually agreed to terminate his contract.
"The 22-year-old attacking midfielder initially joined the club on loan in August 2017 before signing permanently in January 2018, making 44 appearances and scoring eight goals in all competitions.
"The club would like to wish Jack luck for the future."
Byrne has been absent from the club's match day squads this season and he was reportedly suspended internally by Oldham in July for publicly unspecified reasons, with fans launching a social media campaign to have the Dubliner ‘freed’ from his apparent club exile.
The former Manchester City player is now available on a free transfer after being deemed surplus to requirements by new Oldham manager Frankie Burns
The decision to release Byrne has not gone down well with Oldham fans, who have slammed the club for allowing the talented youngster to leave for nothing.
