“It wasn’t an easy decision for me, I looked forward before taking a decision. I sat down with my management and they accepted my choice.”
“As a soldier, you always have to be ready so anytime I go to the pitch I will give my best. I am not going to look at the language and the facilities, I am here to work hard and also give my best to the club,” he said.
Meanwhile, The 28-year-old has expressed his gratitude to Bechem United for their unwavering support and love throughout his stay.
“Bechem, without a shred of doubt, has been a good place to me and I’ll forever remember everything we’ve shared together,” Okrah stated in a letter.
“I became a club legend not only because of my talent but through the support and encouragement everyone around gave me even when I didn’t deserve it.”
