Kotoko Terminate Mohammed Nurudeen Contract

The Asante Kotoko Sporting Club have terminated the contract of their defender, Mohammed Nurudeen one year into the contract.

The decision on the Tamale-based player who was juggling both nursing and football careers, was taken by the Interim Management Committee (IMC).

In a statement, Kotoko said the decision had become necessary for maintaining the cohesion the team needs in building the new season.

“Asante Kotoko has agreed to mutually part ways with defender Mohammed Nurudeen. The club entered into a three-year employment agreement with Nurudeen before the commencement of the 2023/24 football season.

“However, management notes that Nurudeen also has a contract with the Ghana Health Service as a practicing enrolled nurse. The club explored all possible options to convince him to focus on his football career, but Nurudeen remained committed to his career in nursing.”

The Club assured that the decision will not trigger any financial implication against them.

“The IMC would like to assure our supporters that the club will not suffer any financial or sporting penalties due to this decision and wishes Nurudeen the best for the future.”
