KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 5 (Bernama) -- Terengganu FC (TFC) import midfielder Habib Haroon will remain with the Turtles to face the Malaysian League (M League) and the Asian Football Confederation(AFC) Cup challenge next season.
Terengganu Football Club Sdn Bhd (TFCSB) chief executive officer, Ab Rasid Jusoh said the 22-year-old Bahrain-born player decided to extend his contract with TFC despite receiving several offers from renowned overseas clubs.
He said Habib's services were indeed required to face more matches next season following the new Super League format introduced by the Malaysian Football League (MFL).
"Habib is also a key player that the new coach of TFC, Tomislav Steinbruckner, wants to keep to form the squad under his management next season.
"Thus, the management of TFCSB did not hesitate to offer him a one-year contract extension following his excellent performances throughout this season with Terengganu," he said in a statement today.
Habib is the only import player to remain with TFC for next season.
The others, namely Kpah Sherman, Manuel Ott and Kipre Tchetche have parted ways but are rumoured to still be on the radar of the M League next season.
Meanwhile, Habib said he chose to stay with the Turtles because he was very comfortable in Terengganu.
In addition, the fans who always give undivided support whether they lose or win has made him more determined to produce better results for the Turtles in the future.
