The Serbian's contract was due to expire at the end of the season but the club announced on Friday they had reached a mutual termination agreement.

Trifunovic scored nine goals in 22 A-League appearances for the eight-placed Jets this season, four from the penalty spot.

The Jets travel north to tackle Brisbane Roar on Sunday before wrapping up their 2015-2016 campaing against Central Coast Mariners in the F3 derby on Saturday 9 April.
