A NON-LEAGUE club has publicly slammed their own player after they appeared in the Baller League without permission.
Baller League – an indoor six-a-side tournament featuring ex-pros and influencers – returned for its third season on Monday evening.
However, the appearance of one player has sparked a wave of controversy.
National League side Wealdstone FC announced on social media that one of their players had played in the competition without their approval.
Sak Hassan, a 13-cap Somalia international, turned out for Prime FC in their 7-3 win over N5 FC at the Copperbox Arena.
He even got on the scoresheet alongside ex-Manchester United star Ryan Tunnicliffe and Tammy Abraham‘s brother, Timmy, while chipping in with two assists as well.
Wealdstone took note of this move and announced they were launching an investigation into the matter.
The club said: “We are aware that Sak Hassan, under contract with Wealdstone FC, appeared in this evening’s Baller League.
“The club was not approached for permission for Sak to participate, nor were we made aware of his involvement in advance.
“We will now be following up with both the Baller League and the player directly.

“No further comment will be made until those discussions have taken place.”
Wealdstone are currently 10th in the National League, the league directly under the English Football League.
Hassan signed for The Stones last summer from Hashtag United.
He played in the inaugural season of the Baller League, scoring 10 goals.
Prime FC is managed by KSI, who founded Baller League and who recently became the owner of National League South club Dagenham and Redbridge.
KSI admitted on the broadcast he had spoken to Hassan before the announcement of his Daggers takeover.
