FORMER Middlesbrough midfielder James Lea-Siliki has left Rennes and completed a permanent move to Portuguese side Estoril.
The Primeria Liga side have completed a deal to bring the Cameroon midfielder across Europe on a three-year deal.
After joining on a season long loan deal from Rennes, Lea-Siliki struggled to break into the Boro side and made just 11 appearances in total.
The 26-year-old was told in January he would no longer be needed under Chris Wilder and was instructed to find a move elsewhere. However, he remained on Teesside until the end of the season after competing in the African Cup of Nations.
His last Boro appearance came in a 3-2 defeat to Barnsley at Oakwell.
