IFK Norrköping to part ways with Stephen Bolma as contract expires

IFK Norrköping will not renew the contract of injury-plagued Ghanaian midfielder Stephen Bolma when it expires this winter.

IFK Norrköping will release Stephen Bolma when his contract expires. The club has decided not to offer a new deal to the 21-year-old Ghanaian midfielder.

The decision ends Bolma's time at the club after this season. He arrived from the De Visser Academy in 2023 but has been hampered by significant injury problems during his stay in Sweden. This limited him to just nine official appearances, in which he scored one goal.

The club is currently in a strong position in the Superettan, sitting first with 55 points from 25 games. They are unbeaten in their last five matches and hold a ten-point lead at the top. This standing, with an eleven-point cushion over the playoff spots, puts Norrköping on the cusp of a return to the Allsvenskan. In preparing for that, the club is prioritising reliable squad options.

"IFK Norrköping has decided not to offer an extension," it was reported. The club has chosen to part ways with the 21-year-old after the season.

With a stable league position, the focus can shift to shaping a squad for next year's challenges. Updated information on the team's standings and upcoming fixtures is always available. The next match is at home against GIF Sundsvall on October 11th.

Stephen Bolma's future now lies away from IFK Norrköping as his deal runs out this winter.
