Clarence signs pro contract in Turkey
TTFF Media

National Under 23/20 Forward Juma Clarence has signed a two and half year contract with Turkish Second Division club Hacettepe SK. They campaign in the Bank Asya League 1

Clarence, one of the standouts of the National Under 20 team which participated at the FIFA Under 20 World Cup in Egypt last year during which he netted in the 2-1 defeat to Italy, agreed to the contract after going on trial in early February.

Clarence, who turned 21 on Wednesday, returned to Turkey last month and has already made two appearances with his debut coming earlier this month in a 35-minute appearance. He then netted his first goal in the club’s next encounter. Wearing the number 13 shirt, he started and scored in the 12th minute to give his team a 2-1 lead in an eventual 5-2 defeat to Gazientep BZ this past Sunday.

The Fyzabad-born ex-Presentation College San Fernando forward said he was still getting accustomed to the new conditions and style of play at the club.

“It’s been a tough experience so far but a really good one,” Clarence told TTFF Media on Thursday.

“I signed with the club until 2012. It was hard in the beginning because when I came up here earlier this year the conditions were very cold and that took some getting used to but now I’ve settled in and getting my first goal was a big help. It’s been like a month since I signed and it’s just a lot of hard work everyday. It’s non-stop football,” added Clarence who is listed among the players being handled by Football Mix B.V, players agent licensed under the Netherlands Football Association.

Hacettepe is based in Ankara and was founded in 1923. They are the Reserve team and feeder team to Turkish Super League club Gençlerbirliği which is has always been one of the teams in Turkey most notable for its talented young footballers that it procures through scouting both in Turkey and throughout Europe and Africa.

I imagine it isn't easy for a young Trini to pack up and live in Turkey. Language, culture , weather, plenty things different. He showing a lot of guts to go out there and take his chance. I real happy for him.

So far he has already done better than Jamal Gay did with his short European stint, one goal in a game and a lil bit. Looked a good player in the U20 world cup. And he wasnt initially in the team. Took his chance well. Now do T&T, ur parents and urself proud. Hope he gets promoted to the first team and takes his chance there as well

This team is pretty bad I think and are second from bottom in their league. He could end up playing in the third tier of Turkish football next year. Its odd because they and the team below them (Kocaelispor) were in the top tier last year.

Lets hope Juma Clarence is not left to rot in Turkey like Roberts.TT probably thinks that their league is better than Turkey's and maybe that is the reason for not inviting Roberts,hope they change their approach.

Turkish league en ah bad league and remember that this is a feeder club so even if they get relegated he could still end up in the Turkish First Division based on his performances. Good start that he make so far, just have to keep it up and score bout 5-6 more in he first season, thats not bad for a shitty side
