Nigeria: Bala Transfer-Listed By Club

12 January 2009


Former Nigeria youth international Ezekiel Bala has been transfer-listed by his Norwegian club Bryne.

Bala, on of Lyn's triumvirate of players which included John Mikel Obi and Chinedu Obasi, joined the second division side in January 2008 as the club chased a move to the Norwegian Premier League.

With those ambitions failing to materialise, Bala has been asked to look elsewhere along with two other foreign players, Baldur Sigurdsson and Carlos Johnson.

"I can confirm that these three have been notified that they could explore the market," Brynes managing director, Ole Seldal told Aftenbladet.

Bryne have had to slow down on their ambitions following economic troubles and are looking to keep expenses down by letting their foreign players leave.
