Jude Nworuh has turned down the chance to join relegation - threatened Norwegian Tippeligaen side Mjøndalen IF.

The bone of contention was the duration of contract that was offered by the Buskerud - based outfit, with the striker insisting on penning a short - term deal that will run out in December 2015.

“I didn’t sign for Mjøndalen IF because what they offered didn’t favour me. They wanted to sign me for one and a half years, ” Jude Nworuh told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“I said no to them because I wanted to sign for six months and see if they will remain in the Tippeligaen next season.”

With 13 rounds to go in the Premier League, Mjøndalen IF are 15th on the 16 - team table .
