Sydney FC midfielder Leo Sena has departed the Isuzu UTE A-League outfit after agreeing to a mutual termination of the final year of his contract.
The former Serie A midfielder departs the Sky Blues immediately as he joins his partner at home in Brazil in the coming days following one season Down Under.
Sena joined Sydney FC ahead of the 2024-25 campaign and scored one goal across 31 appearances, helping the Harbour City club reach an historic AFC Champions League Two semi-final.
