Breaking News: Turkish side Eskisehirspor terminate contract of Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko
Jerry Akaminko's contract with his Turkish club has been cancelled

Turkish side Eskisehirspor have terminated the contract of Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko, Ghana's leading football news outfit GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The 27-year-old's contract was cancelled on Wednesday by the top-flight club but it is not clear if the Ghanaian player has been informed of the decision.

The contract was cancelled on Wednesday despite having two years left on it as he was contracted to Eskisehirspor until June 2018.

But they opted to end it two years early which means they have to pay some compensation to the Ghana international whose career has been severely affected by the injury he suffered just hours before Ghana named it final World Cup squad for the 2014 World Cup.

Eskisehirspor are yet to make a statement on the termination of the contract of the strong centre-back but insiders have told Ghanasoccernet.com that the Turkey Football Federation (TFF) has been notified of the decision.

The centre-back has struggled to regain his form since suffering a knee injury last May in a Ghana pre-2014 FIFA World Cup friendly against the Netherlands.

Akaminko sat out the entire 2014/2015 season without kicking a ball as he went through rehabilitation.

Since recovering from the injury he has not regained his top form which looks to have led to the decision to cancel his contract.

Akaminko started his Turkey in adventure in the 2008-2009 season with Orduspor before switching to Manisaspor from where he was signed by Eskisehirspor in the summer of 2012 for 1 million 350 thousand Euros.

He will now turn his attention to seeking a new club.
