SINGAPORE, Jun 20 – Singaporean midfielder Lions star Hariss Harun has extended his loan deal with Home United until the end of the season. Hariss still has six months left on his current deal, however, his parent club, Malaysia Super League side Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), have reached an agreement with The Protectors for him to remain at Bishan Stadium.
According to TODAY, the new deal includes a clause that allows the 26-year-old to leave if he receives a suitable offer from an overseas side before the transfer window closes, which is typically the end of August in Europe. Singapore national team’s vice-captain Hariss joined the S.League giants in a surprise move in March, after a proposed loan to Spanish third-tier side CE L’Hospitalet from JDT fell through because of tax issues.
In a further boost to Home, Hariss will also be eligible for their AFC Cup campaign. He sat out the club’s matches in the regional second-tier competition as he did not join in time to be registered. Hariss, who won the AFC Cup in 2015 with JDT, is looking forward to being involved in Home’s two-legged Asean zonal final against Ceres-Negros FC in August. — PN
