Striker Matt Tubbs is free to find a new club after his contract with Bournemouth was cancelled by mutual consent.
Tubbs was recently recalled by the Sky Bet Championship leaders from a successful loan spell with League Two side AFC Wimbledon, who he scored 15 goals for in 30 games.
The 30-year-old joined the club in 2012 but spent much of the last two-and-a-half seasons on loan, playing for Rotherham, Crawley and Wimbledon.
"I’ve always maintained Matt Tubbs is a very good footballer and a scorer of goals," Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said.
“It was always difficult for Matt bearing in mind the system that we play, the competition for places that we have and the step up in level to the Championship.
"This club has moved forward at such a rate and, unfortunately, there are always casualties.
"But what I will say about Matt Tubbs is that he’s a great man, an incredible professional and very dedicated. I haven’t had one cross word with him.
"I respect him immensely and he’s a fantastic goalscorer. He goes with our best wishes and we hope he continues his excellent career so far."
