A big question mark has been put over Seyfo Soley's purported move to the Cyprus premier tier club, Apollon Limassol, after neither the club nor the Cypriot media reported the deal.
The 30-year-old Gambian international was reportedly reported to have ended a three-year football holiday by signing a season-long deal with Apollon in September 2010. The former Banjul Hawks, FC Sint-Niklaas, Lokeren, Genk, Al-Hilal and Preston defender later confirmed the move to Observer Sports, saying it was a lucrative deal that will take effect from January 2011, after the Cypriot club exhausted their 17-foreign-player limit.
But since the purported signing of the contract in mid-September, neither Apollon nor the Cyprus media is making mention of deal. A further search at Apollon's official website has it that the Gambian has no connection with the club, hence casting doubts over the reliability of the previous report. Seyfo has been out of action for many years after failing to find a club since leaving English club Preston North End at the end of the 2007 season.
He played as a trialist with Scottish side Motherwell in July 2008, and was also given a trial with Norwich City in the 2008-09 season under Glenn Roeder but was not offered a permanent deal.
