Asante Kotoko has announced the mutual departure of defender Mohammed Nurudeen.

Nurudeen, who joined the club on a three-year contract ahead of the 2023/24 football season, also holds a position with the Ghana Health Service as a practising enrolled nurse.

Despite the club's efforts to persuade him to prioritise his football career, Nurudeen remained dedicated to his nursing profession, per a statement from the club.

The press release added that an emergency meeting was held on Sunday, 4th August 2024, where the Interim Management Committee (IMC) decided to part ways with Nurudeen.

This decision aims to ensure the team’s cohesion for the upcoming season.

"The IMC would like to assure our supporters that the club will not suffer any financial or sporting penalties due to this decision and wishes Nurudeen the best for the future."
