Real Mallorca midfielder Akihiro Ienaga has joined K-League outfit Ulsan Hyundai on-loan for a year.

Ienaga, 25, struggled to make an impression after joining Mallorca in December 2010, making just four La Liga appearances this season.

He is under contract with the Spanish side until 2015 and his loan move does not include any option for Ulsan to buy the player at the end of the loan period.
