Abdul Fatawu Safiu has responded to the termination of his contract with Asante Kotoko after only three months.

The experienced striker was released by the Porcupine Warriors on Monday, shortly after rejoining the Kumasi-based giants.

According to Kotoko, the decision to terminate Safiu’s contract was due to medical reasons.

“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. Details of the specific medical condition have been clearly communicated to the player,” the club statement from Asante Kotoko said.

The former Inter Allies star, however, took to social media to express his disappointment following the termination of his contract. He stated, “It’s a heavy load to bear but I carry it well.”
