Official: Eric Bekoe released by Petrojet

Ghana striker Eric Bekoe has officially been released by Petrojet after spending three years with the Egyptian club.

“It means a lot to me because after making the waves here I wanted a new challenge and this is something I have always been waiting for. Bekoe told JOY Sports

”I'm a happy man and the thing fell on the exact day I was born (Tuesday). This is a turning point in my career”.

Eric Bekoe who emerged as the Ghana's Premier League top scorer with 17 goals joined Petrojet in 2009 from Asante Kotoko.
