Dubai: Al Khaleej club of Khor Fakkan renewed the contract of their Nigerian striker Abbas Moya who contributed to the club winning promotion to the professional league last season.

Al Khaleej signed last month with Tunisian coach Samir Al Juwaily who will start work in the middle of July with training sessions at the club stadium in Khor Fakkan.

In the first week of August, the team leaves for an external training camp in the Czech Republic in preparation for the professional league which kicks off in September.

After renewing the Nigerian striker's contract, the club will be looking to sign with another two foreign players to strengthen the team for the coming tough season.

Al Khaleej, who played in the first division in many seasons before, clinched the second division league title last season and won promotion to the top flight.

Moya said that he is happy to stay with his old club Al Khaleej for the second successive year.

Challenges ahead

He is hoping to achieve good results in the coming season although the implementation of the first professional league will make it tougher.
