Flores has been offered a long-term contract overseas and the club has agreed to release him from the remainder of his contract.

“Marcos is a passionate and proud footballer and everyone at the club wishes him all the success in his next move.”
Flores thanked the club for their support during a difficult period in his career.
“I will always be grateful to Newcastle Jets for believing in me during the most difficult time of my career. I have nothing but love and respect for the club, fans and staff and I will never forget the opportunity Newcastle Jets gave me,” said Flores.
“I will leave Newcastle Jets with great respect. I want to thank every member and supporter at the Newcastle Jets that showed faith in me and this is something I will always have in my heart”.
