2021/22 GPL: I’m back to Hearts of Oak for good – Gladson Awako assures

Hearts of Oak midfielder, Gladson Awako has vowed to give his all to the club following his return.

The 30-year-old trained with the club on Wednesday after months of failing to train with the club.

“I’m back for good. I can’t challenge the fans; I can’t say anything bad to them. The only thing I need to do to pay them back is on the field, play and give my all. This is the only thing I can do for them,” Awako told 3sports.

“At the moment I know the fans are not happy with me. I keep receiving messages from most people. Some people feel I have betrayed them, and some people send me good messages, saying they support me and are looking forward to seeing me on the field. There is a little love there.”

“But I’m pleading with them to forgive me. I am back and ready to do everything I can to help the club get where it must be,” he added.

Awako joined the club in August from Great Olympics in a two-year deal and is yet to make his debut.

The 2009 U20 World Cup winner dismissed claims he stopped training because of spiritual problems.

It is unknown if Awako will feature for the club in their CAF Confederation Cup play-offs first-leg against JS Saoura.

The Phobians need a big result against the Algerians in Accra on Sunday to stake a claim for the group stage.

They go into the game not in great form having failed to win any game since the Ghana Premier League commenced in late October. Three draws and one defeat after four games.
