William Troost-Ekong explains why Stanley Nwabali is still a free agent
Former Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong revealed that Stanley Nwabali’s premature contract termination with Chippa United occurred outside the transfer window, severely hindering the Nigeria international goalkeeper’s ability to secure a new club.
Former Nigerian national team captain William Troost-Ekong has expressed deep concern regarding international teammate Stanley Nwabali’s ongoing free-agent status.
The dependable shot-stopper remains unattached following his abrupt departure from South African Premier Soccer League side Chippa United earlier this year.
Reflecting on the situation, Troost-Ekong suggested that remaining with his former club might have been a wiser career decision for the talented goalkeeper.
According to Troost-Ekong, the primary catalyst for Nwabali’s current clubless predicament was the highly unfavorable timing of his contract termination.
Because the contract was dissolved completely outside the standard registration window, finding an immediate alternative proved immensely difficult.
Despite a high-profile move to Tanzanian giants Simba SC collapsing over personal terms, Troost-Ekong remains optimistic that Nwabali will secure a team this summer.
