Ghana Premier League giants Kumasi Asante has announced that Abdul Fatawu Safiu’s contract has been terminated.
The player’s contract was terminated for medical reasons, as the team has announced in a statement.
The player will not be able to play for sometime, according to the management, who stated that it had performed a number of medical examinations.
The clubs statement on the termination of Safiu’s contract reads “Asante Kotoko can confirm that it has relieved forward, Abdul Fatawu Safiu due to medical reasons.Asante Kotoko entered into an employment contract with the player in order to meet registration deadlines as announced by the Ghana Football Association, and had to ensure that the player undergoes the pre-competition medical assessment which is the basic and compulsory requirement by the GFA.”
“This medical assessment was duly done awaiting further tests. The further assessment by the club’s medical team revealed other health related issues which could rule him out for a long period. The club, after being informed about the situation, concluded that continuing an employment contract with the player would not be of full benefit to both parties – the club and the player.” the club further added.
Safiu used social media to vent his disappointment, writing “It’s a heavy load to bear but I carry it well.”
He is however optimistic that he would bounce back stronger in the future despite the setback.
