Super Eagles back up goalie Austin Ejide has sensationally terminated his contract with Hapoel Petah Tikva, who were relegated at the end of last season.

Hours after Nigeria defeated Namibia by 1-0, the 28-year-old ex Gabros International custodian called officials of Hapoel Petah Tikva, telling them of his decision of not continuing with them for the 2012 - 2013 season.

Today, Austin Ejide is expected to put pen to paper on a two-year deal with an option for an addition seasonal with Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Ejide arrived Israel to join Hapoel Petah Tikva in the 2009 season from French club SC Bastia. He played 54 games in his three-season spell with the 6-times Israeli champions.
