Enoch Showunmi after scoring his first of pre-season

Striker Enoch Showunmi has had his Leeds United contract cancelled by mutual consent.

The termination frees the former Bristol City marksman up to continue his career elsewhere. It is expected that Enoch will join Scottish Premier League side Falkirk.

Showunmi has scored six goals in 28 appearances since joining from Ashton Gate during the summer of 2008.

Twelve of those appearances have come this season, but he has not started a game since he scored the decisive goal in our Carling Cup victory at Darlington back in August.

Enoch missed much of last season after suffering from a blood clot on his lung and he was ruled out of action from December onwards.

The striker returned to action this season and while first team opportunities proved limited he was a prolific scorer in the reserve side.

United manager Simon Grayson said: "Enoch needs to play regular football and hopefully this will enable him to do so.

"He was very unfortunate last season, but opportunities have been limited for him this season, and hopefully now he will get the opportunity to play.

"We wish Enoch all the best for the future."
