Gambian international central defender Edrisa Ceesay has mutually terminated his contract with Serbian top-tier club FK Jedinstvo Ub, according to his agent, Bakary Bojang, who spoke to Nerve Africa.
“We have terminated Edrisa’s contract with FK Jedinstvo on a mutual basis and are now working on securing a new opportunity for him,” Bojang confirmed.
The agent cited limited game time and the club’s challenges as key factors leading to the decision. “Edrisa was not playing, and the club was on the verge of relegation. In the second division, they can only field three foreign players, and the club has released most of their foreign players,” he explained.
