NNL: Prime Placed 7 Players On transfer 

-


Prime Football Club have let go seven of its players and have been asked to look elsewhere to ply their trade following a major shake off in the team ahead of the Nigeria National League second round campaign.




The management of the Omoluabi Giants retained 26 players and the players have been advised to justify their stay in the club or be shown the exit door at the end of the season.




According to a statement from the team, the secretary of the club management committee, Layi Adeshiyan, said the technical crew have informed the management of their decision to drop the players from the team for low productivity and gross indiscipline. 





Adeshiyan, who is the Director of Sports Osun State Ministry of Youths, Sports and Special Needs, thanked the dropped players for helping the team before now and wished them success in their future endeavour stressing that the drop became necessary following the ongoing restructuring in the club to cut expenses.




“The technical crew have given us the list of players they want to work with and we (management) have given them the free hand to operate and take a decision to ensure they are successful at the end of the current season," Adeshiyan said.




“We are determined to do well this season. We took all these decisions in the best interest of the club and in view of the task ahead as we want to cut our expenses. The most important thing is that we have a team on ground to prosecute any of the assignments (league and Federation Cup),” he concluded.



Prime will on Wednesday lock horn against J. Atete FC in the Federation Cup Round of 32 at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja and battle against Bussdor FC of Owerri next weekend at the Sports Complex of Federal Polytechnic, Ede.
