Hearts right-back Tiago Costa has returned to Portugal after struggling to settle at Tynecastle.
The 21-year-old former Benfica player signed a two-year deal with the Jambos in August but made only one appearance - against Inverness CT - for the club.
A spokesperson told the club's official website: "Tiago has requested a return to Portugal for personal reasons and we were happy to oblige.
"He was a popular player in the squad and was an excellent professional in his time here. The club wish him all the best for the future."
