An upset Tim Cahill has announced his surprise axing from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.
The Socceroos star signed a contract extension with the club just three months ago.
"I'm very sorry to announce that I have reached an agreement with Shanghai Shenhua to terminate my contract after being told that I'm not part of the new coach (Gregorio) Manzano's plans for the 2016 season having only just signed a new contract in November," he wrote on Instagram.
"This is very sad especially after what I feel I have helped to build in Shanghai Shenhua on and off the park.

"Just thinking about saying goodbye to my teammates and especially the amazing fans is heartbreaking.
