Former Kaizer Chiefs playmaker Hendrick Ekstein will be pondering his next move after suffering relegation from the Premyer Liqa with FK Sabail.
The club founded in 2016 finished rock-bottom of the eight-team division after three consecutive defeats left them on 24 points after 28 games and two points off Qabala and Keshla - who finished seventh and sixth respectively.
On Wednesday evening, the 30-year-old played the full 90 minutes but was unable to inspire his side to safety as they lost 1-0 at home to Sumgayit PFC.
And with his contract expiring at the end of next month, it s unlikely that he ll extend his stay with the club he joined in January after a brief stint with domestic rivals Sabah.

Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Hendrick Ekstein continues to enjoy his football at Azerbaijan Premyer Liqa (top league) club FK Sabail where he has now played in at least 20 games for the second season running.
Ektsein made his 20th appearance of this campaign playing from the start in a 1-0 win over FK Qabala.
The stylish midfielder was then pulled out after 87 minutes in a tactical substitution aimed at securing the points in the match played at the Bayil Arena in Baku.
In all the 20 matches that Ekstein has played he has started all but just one.
