Australia's top goalscorer Tim Cahill has had his contract terminated by Chinese club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, he said Tuesday, a year after he joined. The 36-year-old veteran and former Everton star agreed to extend his stay just months ago, but said on Instagram: "I'm very sorry to announce that I have reached an agreement with Shanghai Shenhua to terminate my contract." "I'm not part of the new coach Manzano's plans for the 2016 season," he said he had been told.
A spokesman for Shenhua did not immediately respond to request for comment. Cahill, one of the biggest foreign names in the Chinese Super League (CSL), said in the posting he was "very sad", adding: "Regardless of whether my contract is being honoured and paid out in full, I would much rather have seen it out."
