  • Nuru Sulley is unhappy with Hearts of Oak defense

    Accra Hearts of Oak defender, Nuru Sulley is unhappy with the defensive setup of the club and has, therefore, charged management of the club to sign few players to beef up the defense ahead of the season.

    The Phobians have failed to win the league title since 2009 and according to Sulley, the club can become title contenders in the 2020/21 season if one key area is strengthened (defense) in the ongoing transfer window.

    “Since I came back and after our first few training sessions, I think we need to beef up our defense. I am back to help in that regard but I urge the technical team to add one or two more signings in that department to help me make our defense impregnable.”

    “The midfield is well stacked and our attack is very good although there have been some departures,” he told FootballMadeInGhana.

    Sulley who had a stint with the Accra-based club between 2011 to 2014 has made a return to the club after signing a two-year contract.

  • I want to win trophies with Accra Hearts of Oak – Nuru Sulley

    Accra Hearts of Oak defender, Nuru Sulley has pledged to end the ten-year trophy drought of the former CAF Champions League winners.

  • Hearts of Oak unveils Nuru Sulley

    Accra Hearts of Oak has announced the signing of former center-back Nuru Sulley to beef up their squad as they wait for the resumption of the football season.

    The Phobians have had a fairly good campaign since the season started but want to have a formidable side for the second round to ensure that they challenge for the Ghana Premier League title which has eluded them for the past decade.

    Having already secured the services of some midfielders and attackers, the club has added highly-rated defender Nuru Sulley.

    “Hearts of Oak is pleased to announce the signing of central defender, Nuru Sule. The Ghanaian international has signed a two-year contract as he makes a return to the club”, a club statement said on Wednesday afternoon.

  • I will break into the first team of Hearts of Oak – Nuru Sulley

    New Hearts of Oak signing, Nuru Sulley, has confidently said that he can break into the defense of the team.

    Hearts of Oak currently have a solid defense this season but Sulley thinks that he can become a regular piece in Edward Nii Odoom’s side.

    In an interview with Fox 97.9 FM, Sulley made an example of how he became a regular in bigger clubs.

    “I know I can break into the defence of the team. Even when I was an unknown personality, I managed to break into the squad despite the quality defenders at the disposal of the team then, the same applies to my days at the Black Stars B team.”

    “Even my stint at Alanyaspor in Turkey, we had quality defenders like Kenneth Omeruo, Abdulai Ba formally of FC Porto and some top defenders yet I became a regular in the set up.”

    Sulley has been without a club since terminating his contract with Lebanese side Naft Al-Junoob.

    The defender has previously played for several clubs including Al-Nasr Benghazi, Tala’ea El Gaish, Al-Ittihad, Alanyaspor and Al-Mina.

    Sulley left the Accra based side in 2014 after a three-year stint with the club.

    Hearts of Oak are currently 9th on the league table with 21 points after 14 matches played thus far.
