Sudanese side, AL Hilal have terminated their contract with former Liberty skipper, Kennedy Ashia.
The former Ghana youth international joined the Sudanese side after a successful 2014-15 season with Liberty Professionals, but he failed to meet the requirements of the club.
The club agreed a compensation fee with the 22-year-old after a meeting with the hierarchy of the club on Saturday, and will return to Ghana next week.
Former Liberty Professional midfielder, Kennedy Ashia has tipped the Dansoman-based Premier League side for a top four finish in the upcoming 2016 domestic football season.
The prolific midfielder made his mark with Liberty Professionals before joining the exodus train to Sudan but has backed his former side for supremacy when the new season begins.
The strongly-built attacking midfielder, traded Liberty for Al Hilal in the Sudanese top flight after another impeccable season in the famous white jersey for the “Scientific” soccer lads.
The 23-year-old former Dansoman fan-favourite tipped Latif Blessing to lead the ‘Whites’to a fourth place finish at the very least if not the ultimate trophy in the coming season.
The Al Hilal attacking sensation revealed his feelings for his former side and urged the playing body to confirm their domestic supremacy with the ultimate trophy at the end of the season.
“I’m tipping Liberty Professionals for a top four finish at the very least. I did a lot for Liberty Professionals but I believe this crop of players can even do better before I left.
“I’m no more with the club but do miss my former team mates because Liberty Professional is my mother club and I cannot forget about them in anyway. Latif Blessing and Tamimu are just two of many quality players in the side that can inspire Liberty to the ultimate trophy.”
Kennedy Ashia passed on several attempts from domestic rivals to sign him in the off-season before joining the exodus train to Al Hilal, Sudan.
Liberty Professionals has confirmed their list of registered players for the 2016 Ghana Premier League season.
The Scientific Soccer lads who finished 5th on the league log last season has assembled 29 players to compete for the league crown scheduled to start on February 20.
Last year’s most promising talent Latif Atta-Blessing has taken over the shirt number 10 which was won by Kennedy Ashia.
With Alfred Nelson moving to premier league champions Ashanti Gold, his number 8 Jersey has been taken over by Daniel Kodie.
