Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has alleged that he was denied a professional contract by Rangers International Football Club years ago because of his tribe.
The Enugu-based club has denied the allegation, insisting its recruitment decisions have always been based on merit and not ethnicity.
Simon, in an interview with Urban Dwell Sports published on Thursday, alleged that he was denied a professional contract during a trial at the Enugu-based club years ago despite captaining the trial squad, while another player who had trained for just one week was signed instead.
“I’ve never told anyone this story, it’s the first time. But it’s a disgrace, you know. That year, I was dropped, not because I wasn’t able.
“That was just tribalism, not because of my game. I was there for three months, and a guy came, I forgot his name, he’s an able guy. He just trained for one week and they signed him,” Simon said.
