Derby County have not renewed Kalifa Cisse's short-term contract.
The 29-year-old defender/midfielder signed a two-month deal with the Championship high-flyers in November.
Cisse, who only made one start for the Rams plus a further two substitute appearances, will continue to train with the club while he considers options from England and abroad.
"The manager decided he was surplus to what we needed," first-team coach Paul Simpson told BBC Radio Derby.
The former Mali international impressed in his only start for Steve McClaren, a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.
