HAMILTON Academical have announced that defender Ioannis Skondras has left the club. 

The 28-year-old arrived from PAOK Saloniki in January 2017 and has featured regularly for Martin Canning's side this season.

Skondras has scored three goals in 21 Ladbrokes Premiership appearances in 2017/18, but was handed a five-match ban for excessive misconduct in January for his part in a touchline brawl against Ross County. 

Accies, who are currently 9th in the league table, confirmed the Greek's departure on Friday along with that of compatriot Chrysovalantis Kozoronis.

Midfielder Kozoronis was signed by the club during the January transfer window but has failed to make a single appearance at New Douglas Park.
