Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Ki-Jana Hoever has joined Sparta Prague for an undisclosed fee on a "multi-year deal".
The 24-year-old Dutchman joined Wolves from Liverpool in September 2020. He made 33 appearances in all competitions but spent much of his six years with the club out on loan.
He had a brief spell back in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven, two separate stints at Stoke City, and also had loans at Auxerre and Sheffield United.
"When you're not in a rhythm of playing regularly it's tough. You return from a loan and you're not fully part of it, so he's suffered," technical director Matt Jackson told the club website., external

Ruben Neves says he still has one eye on Wolves as they look to return to the Premier League.
Neves, 29, captained the side during his six-year spell at Molineux before moving to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
"Every time I can, I still watch Wolves. It's one of my favourite teams. Since I was there, I loved it and I have a lot of friends there," he said.
"I watched the game against Port Vale in the EFL Cup (which they won 3-0) so I'm very happy and I'm sure they will do very good in the Championship."
In Neves' first campaign at Wolves in 2017-18, the Portuguese midfielder won the Player of the Season award as they won the Championship title under Nuno Espirito Santo.
"It reminds me of my first season there and I hope they come back to the Premier League as soon as possible," Neves added.
His Al-Hilal side have got off to a good start, winning their opening two league games in the Saudi Pro League. They last won the title in 2023-24 and are closing in on signing both Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal and Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.
On his personal ambitions, Neves said: "I play for the biggest team in Asia so our main goal is to win every single trophy we play for so for me, that's the most important."
