Everton today confirmed they have released Greek striker Apostolos Vellios.
The 22 year-old, who joined Everton from Iraklis Thessaloniki in 2011, only managed 22 appearances for the Toffees.
He had a unsuccessful loan spell at Blackpool in March, where he made just two appearances in the Sky Bet Championship.
"He's probably in a position now where, at a very young age still, he needs a new challenge and a new environment to show what he can do.
"We wish him well and I'm sure every Evertonian will follow me with that," Everton manager Roberto Martinez told reporters.
