Al-Taawoun, the club he left the Wanderers to join in August, announced Monday that the striker was heading home on a loan deal until the end of the A-League season.
For the 30-year-old, despite interest from Europe and Asia, it was the right move for all parties after just one goal in 18 games and none at all in the league.
“There are a lot of reasons, especially my happiness on and off the pitch. I missed the birth of my child and it has been mentally tough,” Duke told
The World Game.
Duke has failed to settle on the pitch too, despite fourth-placed Al-Taawoun having a good season, with the fact that coach Vitor Campelos was fired soon after he arrived complicating matters.
