Nuru Sulley has no fear over competition

Hearts defender Nuru Sulley says he does not fear competition ahead of the start of the new season.

The 22-year-old centre back will face stiff competition from new recruit Vincent Atinga and returnee Philip Boampong for the centre-back role.

But the former Mighty Jets defender insists he is ready for the challenge ahead.

“There is work to do and that’s what I’m focused on doing at the club,” he said.

“I do not fear competition at all. In fact competition is good for the club in our quest to win the League title this season.

“We’ve had a couple of new players who have joined us and I’m confident we’ll do our best for the club.”

Sulley has been loaned out to the club after Hearts sold him to Libyan side Al Nasr.
