Karuru lifts lid on huge earnings in Saudi Arabia

WARRIORS midfielder Ovidy Karuru has defended the standard of football in Saudi Arabia while lifting the lid on the lucrative earnings on offer in the oil-rich Asian nation.

The 33-year-old veteran midfielder spent the second half of last season at Saudi Arabia’s second-tier club Al Shoalah after leaving South African club Black Leopards.

Karuru returned to South Africa after the expiry of his six-month contract in July and is currently club hunting.
