As of January 17, 2025, Papua New Guinea (PNG) Hunters’ senior player, Brandon Nima, is facing disciplinary action for breaching his contract. The team’s Chief Executive Officer, Scott Barker, confirmed that Nima’s actions violated team policies, leading to internal measures to address the situation.
The breach pertains to Nima’s public support for former teammate Keven Appo on social media. Appo had previously been disciplined by the Hunters for undisclosed reasons, and Nima’s backing was deemed inappropriate by the team’s management. Barker emphasized that such actions compromise the integrity and image of the Hunters as a professional sporting organization.
While the specific disciplinary measures have not been publicly disclosed, the Hunters’ management is committed to upholding team standards and ensuring that all players adhere to established protocols. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of professionalism and the potential repercussions of actions that conflict with team policies.
As the situation develops, further updates from the PNG Hunters’ management are anticipated. Fans and stakeholders are encouraged to await official communications for comprehensive details regarding Nima’s status with the team.
