Egyptian side Eastern Company SC terminate ex-Hearts midfielder Benjamin Afutu’s contract

Following a lackluster performance, Eastern Company SC in Egypt’s Premier League has canceled their contract with former Hearts of Oak player Benjamin Afutu Kotey, according to reports.

After completing his contract at Hearts of Oak, Afutu Kotey joined the Egypt Premier League newcomers on a three-year free transfer in September 2021.

The former Black Stars ‘B’ midfielder is said to have landed in Ghana after his three-year contract with Eastern Company SC was terminated after only nine months.

With thirteen points after 20 games, Eastern Company SC is presently in last place in the 2021/22 Egypt Premier League season.

Afutu has struggled for regular playing time with Eastern Company SC in his first season, making only eight appearances for the team in the ongoing Egypt Premier League season, totaling 426 minutes.

In the 2020/21 season, Afutu was instrumental in the Rainbows’ victories in the Ghana Premier League and the MTN FA Cup.
