Champions release Sandberg

Former Swede international Niklas Sandberg is set to leave SAFFC after he has been released from his contract.

From media reports, it seem the 32-year-old has been affected by his family inability to adapt to the lifestyle and surroundings of Singapore and is seeking to return to Europe.

That could explain the drop in performance of the Swede recently; with him unable to impose himself in games like the start of the season.

The Champions have, therefore, decided it was better to part way now with the S-league transfer window opening in a month time and they needed to find a replacement while the Swede can return to Europe now, which is in the close-season, thus allowing him time to find a new club.

Sandberg had a two-year contract with SAFFC.
