A Kenyan international footballer is demanding just over $37,000 (Sh3.7m) in compensation after being forced out of South Africa Premier Soccer League (PSL) side Golden Arrows.

Winger Cliffton Miheso was forced out of Arrows amid gun drama last month and he has instructed his lawyers based in Nairobi to pursue damages for contract violation.

The player fled to the C R Swart Square Police Station in Durban after he was allegedly forced to sign a contract termination letter by Arrow’s Chief Executive and two gunmen who used their weapon to threaten him. “Further we are instructed that in blatant breach of Articles 13 and 16 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players as well as clause 18 of the contract, your club on January 14, frustrated the contract by unilaterally terminating the contract...” reads the letter.
