Published: July 12, 2012

Nigerian midfielder Jacob Ogunleye arrived FC Midtjylland two years ago, but failed to establish himself in the first team squad. Ogunleye has terminated his contract with the Danish club and is returning to Nigeria.

This coming season the former FC Ebedei talent was expected to make the big breakthrough. He showed glimpses of his potential in pre-season, scoring a brace in the 3-0 victory over Bad Rothenfelde.

''He missed his family and would like to go home, so we have given him permission. He has been up here a long time but have been slightly injured and have not really been successful.

''After he was home on summer vacation, he made up his mind that he would rather be home, and we of course allowed him,'' Claus Steinleintold bold.dk.

The 19 - year - old Jacob Ogunleye did not play an official game for the Wolves.
