NEC let Tumba and Jansen go

07 May 2002

NEC have told Zico Tumba and Stefan Jansen that they can start looking for a new club. Both players joined the Nijmegen side last summer, from De Graafschap and TOP Oss respectively. Jansen was the Eerste Divisie's top scorer last season but has failed to produce the goods in the Ere Divisie. They lost their places in the lineup to Frank Demouge, who's just had his contract renewed, and Dennis de Nooijer who was on loan from Heerenveen but has just signed a permanent deal. Macedonian striker Gorgi Hristov has also just signed a new deal after returning from long-term injury which means there's not enough room in Nijmegen for that many forwards.
