Reading FC have mutually terminated the contract of midfielder David Meyler in advance of its expiration.
The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international joined the Royals last summer and made five appearances for the club before playing for Coventry on loan.
The news should come as a financial boost to Reading, with transfer deadline day around the corner it may free up some funds for Jose Gomes to bolster his squad before August 8.
