Ghanaian top-flight side Asante Kotoko have terminated the contract of George Abege after a short stint.
Abege signed for the Kumasi club in July 2019 for what was reported to be a deal worth $25,000 but the former Kariobangi Sharks striker failed to live up to expectations despite a heroic unveiling ceremony after his signing.
The Porcupines had made it clear they were signing the towering Ugandan forward in order to help them conquer both the domestic league and Caf competitions.
But the latest development means those ambitions had not been fulfilled.
Asante Kotoko had signed the former Sony Sugar striker after impressing when they had met with Kariobangi Sharks in a Caf Confederation Cup match in December 2018.
After an initial 0-0 draw in Nairobi, the Kenyan side went on to lose the second leg tie 2-1 in Ghana to drop out of the continental competition.
Without giving exact reasons, Asante Kotoko announced on their Twitter account they were terminating Abege’s contract. Abege is an experienced striker who has featured for Kariobangi Sharks, Sony Sugar, Bandari, Posta Rangers and Nairobi City Stars in Kenya.
In his native country, he has played for Maroons FC and SC Victoria.
Abege was part of the Kariobangi Sharks team which won the FKF Shield Cuptrophy in 2018 in order to book their maiden slot in a Caf competition.
