Asante Kotoko forward Albert Amoah has spoken candidly about the emotional strain surrounding his mid-season departure from the club.
The striker left the Porcupine Warriors earlier in the campaign after their painful elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup.
Kotoko were knocked out in the second preliminary round following a heavy loss to Moroccan side Wydad Athletic Club in Morocco.
Amoah subsequently joined Libyan club Al Ahly Benghazi before making a return to Kumasi on loan.
Now back with Kotoko for the rest of the season, the 25-year-old admits the move away was far from easy.
“It was difficult leaving, especially because of how it ended in Morocco.
I didn’t even know how to respond to messages,” he said.
Amoah believes the support he has received since returning has lifted his confidence.
“Knowing that so many fans are counting on me has given me a huge boost, and I hope to repay their faith,” Amoah added.
The striker is expected to be in contention when Kotoko face Berekum Chelsea in their Matchday 20 fixture at the Baba Yara Stadium.
