Aberdeen have mutually terminated the contract of former Bristol City striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas with five matches remaining of the season.
Emmanuel-Thomas, 31, was less than 12 months into a two-year contract with the Scottish side having joined them on a free transfer last summer after his deal with Livingston expired.
The striker made seven starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premiership this season, failing to hit the net, but fell out of favour following Jim Goodwin's appointment as manager in February.
