Asante Kotoko defender Mohammed Nurudeen has mutually terminated his contract with the club to pursue a career in nursing.
According to the club, they tried all means possible to make the player stay and focus on football but he decided that his future lies with a career in nursing
.“The club explored all possible options to convince him to focus on his football career, but Nurudeen remained committed to his career in nursing.”A statement from the Porcupine Warriors stated that Nurudeen had an existing contract with the Ghana Health Service as a practising nurse before signing a three-year contract with the club in 2023.
“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 practising enrolled nurse,” the statement read.An emergency meeting was however held on Sunday, August 4, where the Interim Management Committee (IMC), agreed on letting go of the player. The decision was taken with the new season in mind, as they want to maintain cohesion before it starts.
“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.”Kotoko has released over 15 players as the club looks to build a formidable squad for the next season. The Porcupine Warriors finished sixth in the Ghana Premier League last season in an underwhelming campaign.
