TSG Hoffenheim announced on Tuesday that they have reached a mutual agreement with Ghanaian defender Kasim Nuhu Adams to part ways as his contract with the Bundesliga club has come to an end.

Adams, aged 28, joined Hoffenheim in 2018 from BSC Young Boys in Bern. However, his time at the club was marred by injuries, which restricted him to just 13 Bundesliga appearances in his debut season.

In search of more regular playing time, Adams was loaned to Fortuna Dusseldorf for the 2019/20 season. His most recent loan spell was with FC Basel during the 2022/23 season, where he played a significant role in helping the Swiss side reach the semi-finals of the Conference League.

Alexander Rosen, the club’s managing director, acknowledged the disappointing outcome of Adams’ tenure, stating, “Regarding Kasim, it’s clear that the collaboration didn’t meet the expectations from a sporting standpoint for both parties.”

“While his time with us lacked notable sporting achievements, his professionalism and conduct remained exemplary throughout.”

During his time at Hoffenheim, Adams made 29 Bundesliga appearances, three DFB Cup appearances, two Champions League appearances, and four Europa League appearances.
