Hearts of Oak: Defender Mohammed Alhassan signs new contract ahead of 2022/23 season

Central defender, Mohammed Alhassan has signed a new Hearts of Oak contract ahead of the 2022/23 season.

The lanky ball playing defender who joined the club in 2018 from WAFA has been a key figure for the club.

Alhassan has been one of the best defenders in the Ghana Premier League and has been very much consistent for both club and country in past few seasons.

"Yes, Alhassan is not just a Hearts player or asset but all football loving people can also attest to the fact that he is a national asset who is very passionate about his work," said Club Administrator.

"His dedication and contribution have been highly recommendable and you can not belittle that.

"He stands out as one of the very best players in our league so it is with no surprise that the coaches, both for his club and country have huge amount of confidence in him. He deserves this for his good works. His works have spoken for him."

The 30-year-old is amongst the players that coach Samuel Boadu gave time off to take rest after going through the season and playing for the Black Galaxy.

He was on the score sheet for the Galaxy when they defeated Benin in the CHAN qualifiers to book a date with Nigeria in the final qualifier which will be played later this month and early September.
