Kjartan Mar Kjartansson has left Aberdeen to join Eliteserien side SK Brann for an undisclosed fee, with head coach Stephen Robinson saying the sale has earned the Dons a "healthy profit".
Iceland Under-21 midfielder Kjartansson joined from Stjarnan last summer but had expressed a desire to return closer to home.
The 22-year-old made nine appearances for the Dons, scoring one goal and setting up another.
"His opportunities within the first team have been limited, and we recognise his desire to play regular first-team football, whilst also relocating closer to family and friends," said Robinson.
"With the club making a healthy profit on the transfer, whilst also retaining a meaningful interest in Kjartan's future, we believe this move represents the best way forward for all parties.
Kjartansson said: "I'd like to thank everyone at Aberdeen for the support I've received since joining the club," Kjartansson said.
"It's been a valuable experience for me to move to Scotland, both as a player and as a person. However, I feel the opportunity to join SK Brann and continue my development in Norway is the best pathway for me at this stage of my career."
