CULT hero Lys Mousset has left Bohemians by mutual consent.
The former £10 million Premier League striker joined the Gypsies on an incentive-based contract at the start of the season after two years out of the game.
But while he became a fan favourite, he struggled for game-time making nine appearances – six off the bench – and scoring one goal in his final appearance against Sligo in May.
The club issued a brief statement reading: “We thank Lys for his efforts at the club over the past six months and wish him all the very best for the future.”
His arrival on trial in February excited Bohs fans as Mousset, nicknamed The Moose, had an impressive CV with Bournemouth and Sheffield United, who signed him for €10 million in 2019.
But the 29-year-old was beset with injury problems and was out of the game since September 2022 when he left German club Bochum, before his arrival at Bohs.
He started the first three games of the season but was on the bench ever since, as Alan Reynolds prioritised signing a new striker in the July transfer window.
And with the arrival this week of Douglas James-Taylor from Drogheda, Mousset’s opportunities in the second half of the season were likely to be limited.
