Xinhua,December 05, 2017 Adjust font size:
BERLIN, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund announced Monday to release South Korean left back Park Joo-ho, terminating their three-year contract by mutual consent.
The 30-year-old joined Dortmund from fellow German club Mainz in 2015 on a transfer fee of 3 million euros (about 3.56 million U.S. dollars), but played only 712 minutes in 11 matches and scored just one goal so far in 2015 Europa League against FC Krasnodar.
Park had to play with the team's under-23 squad this season since he failed to gain a spot on Dortmund's first team. He last played for the club on Nov. 17 against Essen.
He was called up once this year by South Korea and featured in only one World Cup qualifying match as his national side reached the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Park, who also served Japanese side Mito Hollyhock, Kashima Antlers and Jubilo Iwata before going to Europe to play for Switzerland's FC Basel, has so far earned 32 caps for South Korea. Enditem
