Former Rangers and Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones has left Wigan Athletic just 13 days after signing a deal at the club.
The 29-year-old agreed a short-term deal at Wigan on August 9 as Shaun Maloney bolstered his attacking options.
The ex-St Mirren player was drafted back into the club after initially leaving at the end of his contract at the end of last season.
But injury issues prompted Maloney to hand the winger a new short-term contract as cover for the Sky Bet League One opening fixtures.
Jones came off the bench against Charlton and Reading as well as against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup but has now departed the club less than two weeks after signing.
He made a total of 53 appearances for the club across his time at Wigan. Jones has now left Wigan again by mutual consent.
