Kenyan international Ayub Timbe has parted with Beijing Renhe after three years with the Chinese club.

Timbe who moved back to China last July after a short loan spell in England with Reading, announced his departure from the Renhe side that owns English side Reading.

“Thanks for the three beautiful years at Beijing Renhe ! I Wish the club and everyone behind it good luck for the rest of the season,” he said in a tweet.

Renhe Sports Management controls a majority stake, 75% shares, at Reading Sports Club.

Timbe, who passed through Underlecht, Genk and Germinal Beerschot youth systems, joined Reading, on loan, on the very last day of England’s football transfer, until the end of last May even though his short spell in the EPL was disrupted by the outbreak of the Covid-19.

“My short journey at reading is finished,” he said last July.

It is not yet clear next move Timbe will make, but being a free agent, he can move to any club despite the Chinese Super League transfer window having closed at the end of September.

A move back to England is  likely out of the picture, but the pacy Harambee Stars midfielder will most certainly set to attract interest within China and even the fast rising Japanese League.

Timbe started his professional career abroad with Genk in 2011 then moved to Lierse, first on loan (2014-16) before penning a permanent deal that kept him at the club one for one year.

He would then move to China in 2017 after joining Renhe . He would then spend a season on loan at Heilongjiang Lava Spring then back to Renhe , then to Reading, before returning to his parent club that eventually released him over the weekend.
