Former Hearts of Oak attacker, Kwadwo Obeng Jr has stated that he holds no grudge against his former side, despite being without a team since leaving the Phobian Club in January 2024.
The 25-year-old attacker has been out of the game since the end of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season, but has recently joined Heart of Lions on a two-year deal ahead of the 2024/25 season.
In an interview with Asempa FM, Obeng Jr expressed his gratitude to the club’s supporters, who he believes saw the potential in him as a player. He acknowledged that the management had decided to release him, but made it clear that he has no hard feelings towards the club.
“I have no regret playing for Hearts of Oak,” Obeng Jr said. “I was determined to continue playing for the club, but unfortunately, the management felt otherwise. I was awarded a one-year contract extension, but it was later rescinded, and I left the team. However, I have moved on and I’m focusing on my new team, Heart of Lions.”
Obeng Jr won several titles during his time with Hearts of Oak, including the 2020/21 Premier League title and two FA Cups.
Despite being defeated by Hearts of Oak in his recent appearance in the Homowo Cup match, Obeng Jr remains focused on his new team and is expected to boost their attacking options.
