Jawula to settle RTU bonuses after players boycott training

Former Board Member of Real Tamale United, Lepowura MND Jawula has promised to help settle the team’s outstanding bonuses after the players decided to boycott training.

RTU players refused to turn up for training on Thursday and Friday following management’s failure to pay their bonuses for three wins and two draws in recent Ghana Premier League matches.

It would be recalled that RTU secured home wins against Berekum Chelsea, Asante Kotoko and Accra Lions and managed two stalemates away at Elmina Sharks and Dreams FC.

Jawula, a former Ghana FA Boss, is currently in the USA but has requested for a budget from the RTU management to facilitate the payment of the outstanding bonuses before next Wednesday.

The playing body has agreed to management’s plea to return to training on Saturday ahead of the GPL match-day 29 fixture against Bechem United at the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale on May 18.

14th placed RTU is flirting with relegation from the domestic top flight after securing 33 points from 28 games.
