Enugu Rangers have rejected allegations by Super Eagles winger Moses Simon that he was denied a professional contract with the club early in his career because he is not from the Igbo tribe, Saturday PUNCH reports.
Simon had made the claim in an interview with UrbanDwellSport, recalling that he spent three months training with Rangers and believed he had done enough to earn a deal, only to be overlooked in favour of another player.
“I went to Rangers and trained with them for three months. I was dropped because I was not Igbo, not because of my performance,” Simon said.
“I spent three months with the team, while another player trained just once and got a professional contract because he was Igbo. I never told anyone these stories. It was the first time. But it is a disgrace.”
