Valour FC and midielder Nestor Monge have mutually agreed to terminate the latter’s contract, citing delays in the visa process.

The Winnipeg club, who initally signed the Costa Rican midfielder in Feburary, announced the decison Thursday after Monge attempted to enter Canada ahead of the 2021 CPL season.

In 11 seasons in Costa Rica, Monge has scored 10 goals and added 12 assists. He’s also made eight appearances in the Concacaf Champions League, playing in the continent’s top club competition for both Saprissa and Cartaginés.
