Nigerian player, Moses Odo has been sacked by his Egyptian club, Ghazl El-Mahalla for various financial infractions.

He signed a two-year contract with Ghazl El-Mahalla after joining earlier in January.

Soccernet.ng reports that fellow compatriot Emmanuel Agbettor also ran into trouble at the club.

While Moses was suspended for a financial dispute, Agbettor was sanctioned for a training bust-up with teammate Mahmoud Salah, Soccernet.ng said.

And Ghazl El-Mahalla has now, as per Kingfut, decided to terminate the contract of Moses, which would have ran into the summer of 2022.

Moses moved to Egypt in July 2018 to join then-Premier League side Haras El-Hodood from Nigerian club Real Sapphire FC.

His impressive record of ten goals and three assists for the Military club helped him secure a move to Misr El-Makkasa just one year later.

Moses endured a less than fantastic time at El-Makkasa, scoring just three goals in 18 games, but he did enough to convince newly-promoted Ghazl El-Mahalla to offer him a lucrative two-year deal.

The 27-year-old made just four league appearances for El-Mahalla before troubles arose.
