The 31-year-old, who joined the Porcupine Warriors last season, has decided to prioritize his nursing career over football. Despite being a key player for the club and having a two-year contract, Kotoko have agreed to release Nurudeen after unsuccessful attempts to secure a permanent transfer for him to Kumasi.
The club stated that this decision was made in the best interest of both parties.
“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,” read a statement from Kotoko.
“An emergency meeting was convened on Sunday, August 4, 2024, where the Interim Management Committee (IMC) agreed to part ways with the player in the best interest of both parties. This decision was made to maintain the cohesion the team is building for the new season.”
Nurudeen, a professional nurse based in Tamale expressed his dedication to his medical career.
Asante Kotoko have assured their fans that the club will not suffer any negative consequences from this decision, despite the timing as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The new season is set to start in September, with Kotoko playing Karela United in their first game.
