Wycombe Wanderers defender leaves club after four-and-a-half seasons
Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed the departure of centre back Ryan Tafazolli.
The defender, who has only played five times for the Chairboys this season, has joined Hong Kong-based team Lee Man FC on loan for the rest of the campaign.
His new side are currently third in the Hong Kong Premier League.
The 33-year-old’s last appearance for the club came in the 2-1 home loss to Swindon Town in the EFL Trophy, with his current contract with the Adams Park team expecting to expire this June.
Tafazolli signed for Wycombe from Hull City in the summer of 2020, weeks after the club had gained promotion to the Championship.
He has since appeared 128 times for Wanderers in the last four-and-a-half years, in which he has scored 10 times.
This includes a double against Crewe Alexandra, with his second being a last-minute winner, and bagging a header versus Milton Keynes in the play-off semi-final first leg in May 2022.
His last strike for Wycombe came on New Year’s Day 2024 when he scored a header against Bristol Rovers.
This was in a 3-2 win which ended the club’s 12-game winless run in League One.
Additionally, Wanderers’ home match against the Gas has now been moved to Tuesday, February 18.
The fixture was due to be played 10 days earlier, but the Chairboys will face Preston North End in the FA Cup fourth round on that same day.
