Andreas Johansson admits the desire to play regularly prompted his departure from Wigan Athletic.
The Swedish midfielder has signed a three-year deal with AaB Aalborg in Denmark after a frustrating spell at The JJB Stadium.
During his two-and-a-half years with the club, Johansson was never able to establish himself in the team and started just four Premier League games last season.
Johansson concedes he enjoyed his stint in England, but needed to move on in order to play more often.
"I would have liked to have played more games and that's the only reason I want to move on," said Johansson in the Manchester Evening News.
"I've enjoyed my experience here and being involved in the incredible Wigan story."
Wigan boss Chris Hutchings had no complaints with Johansson's attitude and accepts it was 'frustrating' for AaB's new recruit.
Hutchings said: "Andreas worked tirelessly to get into the first team.
"Unfortunately he has never truly found a regular place, but not for the lack of trying.
"It's probably been frustrating for him, but he has never shown anything other than total professionalism.
"He's never complained, always had a smile on his face around the training ground, and I wish him all the best because he's been a pleasure to have around the place."
