Udara Gayan swaps Police for CR

Soon after leaving school, Udara Gayan made his much awaited debut for Police SC and going on to play 5 years at the club. Gayan who was in line for captaincy has been forced into a move away from the club due to a policy change at the club.

According to the latest policy used at Police SC, no contract players will be eligible to represent the club opening the door to players who are police officers.

This change came in following two dismal campaigns for the club. In 2015, Police recruited many big name players however due to various reason on and off the field, the club slumped to a 5th place on the table.

The downfall continued into the following season as they plunged further down into 7th place, topping only final placed CH & FC.

With the downward trend continuing, the management at Police decided to make a policy change, hoping for a better season to come.
