Giresunspor cancel Basit contract

Turkish side Giresunspor have released striker Abdul Basit Adam barely two weeks after signing him.

The young Ghana international had signed a two-year deal with the side who play in the second tier of the Turkish football league system in July after his exit from South African topflight club Free State Stars.

Basit, a member of the Ghana Olympic team, has in a surprise twist of events had his recently signed contract terminated despite scoring a couple of goals for the side in pre-season.

Supersport.com checks reveal that Giresunspor terminated Basit’s contract at the beginning of August with the club’s vice-president Nahid Yamak stating that the forward was “not fitting in with their play.”

The 20-year old returned to South Africa in search for a new club and recently trained with relegated AmaZulu FC but the Durban-based club cannot offer him a contract having already filled their foreign quota for the 2015/16 National First Division League.

AmaZulu have filled their foreign quota with the return of Namibian playmaker Petrus Shitembi who excelled on loan at Ghanaian league leaders AshantiGold.
