The 26-year-old joined Boro in the summer of 2014 from Murcia and he went on to make 75 appearances for the Sky Bet Championship club.

The former Spain Under-20 international scored 16 goals during his time on Teesside, but will now return to his homeland with Middlesbrough currently second in the table.

Kike has netted four times in 24 games this season, including two against Bolton in August, and his final goal for the club came at Brighton in December.
