Ghana Premier League powerhouse, Hearts of Oak have appointed club legend Sebastian Barnes as Head of Scouting.
The former Ghana U17 captain returns to the local scene after leaving the country in 1995 to join Bayer Leverkusen.

Barnes has previously managed the U17 side of Bayer Leverkusen and is a UEFA License B holder.
The 46-year-old played for German sides Leverkusen, FSV Mainz 05, VfL Hamm/Sieg and American side Orlando Sundogs.
He will work under a yet-to-be-named Head Coach and newly appointed technical director Rene Hiddink.
Hearts of Oak are hoping to improve their performance in the upcoming 2023/24 Ghana Premier League having finished 12th last season.
Meanwhile, the new season will kick off in September later this year.
