He made 19 appearances in the Premier League, 14 from the substitutes bench, and 22 appearances in total.

Latics manager Steve Bruce said: "Julius is a lovely guy and he tried his best to adjust to life in the Premier League. I never found fault with his attitude or effort in training or when selected.

"However, he never really managed to get started while I've been at the club and I think it's best for both parties that he moves on.

"I wish him all the best and I hope he enjoys success in his new club."
