Kumasi Asante Kotoko has terminated their contract with Brazilian footballer Michael Vinicius Silva de Morais with immediate effect.

A statement by the Porcupine Warriors indicated that the Kumasi-based side and Vinicius have had a collaborative agreement to part ways.

The Brazilian player scored twice in 75 minutes of action during his time with Asante Kotoko.

Vinicius joined the Porcupine Warriors in a deal, which was supposed to run until 2023.

He was the second Brazilian at Kotoko, linking up with compatriot Fabio Gama Dos Santos, who joined the club in October last year.

He played for Fluminense between 2012 and 2014, moved to Criciuma before returning to Fluminense in 2015.

He went on to feature for Estoril in Portugal during the 2015-16 season and made a comeback to his home country to play for America Mineiro, Resende and Cascavel before heading for Linkoping City in Sweden in 2019.

Last year, he transferred to Japanese third-tier side Grulla Marioka before returning to Sweden to join Vasalunds.
