Wigan Athletic have confirmed that Nigeria striker Julius Aghahowa has left England to move to Turkey to join Kayserispor.
The 26-year-old has signed a three-year contract with his new employers, having struggled to make his mark with the Latics.
Aghahowa joined Wigan from Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk in early 2007, but failed to find the net for the club in 23 appearances in total.
Manager Steve Bruce told the club's official website: "Julius is a lovely guy and he tried his best to adjust to life in the Premier League. I never found fault with his attitude or effort in training or when selected.
"However, he never really managed to get started while I've been at the club and I think it's best for both parties that he moves on.
"I wish him all the best and I hope he enjoys success with his new club."
