Indonesian giants Persib Bandung have officially terminated the contract of Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien.

The former Chelsea star has been inactive since he was axed to fulfil the foreign quota rule to accommodate the signing of Bogan Malistic.

President and Director of PT Persib Bandung, Glenn Sugita thanked the Ghanaian for his services at the club.

"We both appreciate the regulations that have been made PT Indonesia New League and Essien also very understanding," said Glenn like BolaSport.com quoted from the page Persib, Wednesday (06/06/2018).

"The point is, we parted well," said Glenn. "It's not just Essien's understanding of ending this partnership, more than that, we, especially me, are very grateful for his services so far," Glenn added.

The 35-year-old scored five goals in 29 games for the Bandung Tigers last season.
