Former Black Stars midfielder, Laryea Kingston, has lifted the lid on his unsuccessful club career in the Libyan Premier League during the early days of his career.
Laryea Kingston joined Al-Ittihad Tripoli of Libya in 2000 from Accra Great Olympics and signed a three-year contract.
But the midfielder returned to Ghana in less than a year to sign for Ghana Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak before moving to join Saudi Arabian club Ettifaq FC in 2003.
However, Laryea, in an interview with Joy FM revealed that he left Al-Ittihad Tripoli because the club refused to pay him his accumulated salary and other bonuses despite playing for them for close to six months, after signing a three-year contract.
“Before Hearts of Oak came in, Olympics transferred me to Libya, but the contract wasn’t successful. I had to run away from the contract because the punishment was too much. 'Akwantuo' is not easy.
“I signed a contract with Al-Ittihad Club in Libya. I signed three years. My salary and everything for six months I did not receive anything and I was playing for them," he narrated.
