Eredivisie outfit De Graafschap have confirmed that they have sacked midfielder Dulee Johnson.

The 27-year-old Liberian only joined the club in the summer on a free transfer from Greek outfit Panetolikos.

But the club announced that they had terminated his contract after he was arrested by police on suspicion of drink driving.

Johnson refused a breath and blood test, which is a crime and now, after talks, De Graafshap have taken action.

"Johnson knew what the consequences would be," said director Bloemer Henk.
