By Taofeek Babalola

The management of Wikki Tourists of Bauchi has terminated contracts of three players for unimpressed performances, Sportinglens.blogspot.com can report.

The club’s Media Officer Nasiru Kobi, who confirmed the development to Sportinglens.blogspot.com, said the players were given their disengagement letters on Tuesday.

According to Kobi, the players are two strikers Mohammed Mohammed and Ahmed Abdultaofik and a defender Abayomi Asekunlowo.

Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports that Mohammed and Abdultaofik were featured in three matches each since they joined the Big Elephants at the beginning of the season. They came on as substitutes in two occasions while they were unused substitutes for the third match. 

Asekunlowo, who left the Bauchi-based side to play for Dolphins, Rivers United and Akwa United before returning to the club at the beginning of this season, has not played any game for the team this season. 

“The players joined the club at the beginning of the 2018/2019 NPFL Season but failed to impress the club. They were given some chances in the league but they are unable to justify their inclusion in the team,” Kobi told Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

“The club which is occupying the 8 position in the group A abridged NPFL table and the team is in dire need of a top strikers. And I can confirm to you that the management has gone searching to replace the disengaged players with quality strikers.”
