Ghana and Columbus Crew defender Harrison Afful says he is encouraged to do more after being named the 2014 Sports Writers Association of Ghana’s footballer of year.
The former Esperance man who now plays his football in the MLS with Columbus Crew beat off competition from Asamoah Gyan and Swansea City’s Andre Ayew to win the coveted award.
The Columbus Crew right back is best remembered in the game for his flawless assist which fetched Ghana’s equalizer after Mario Gotze had put the German’s ahead.
The former Asante Kotoko man also helped Esperance to finish the Tunisian league in 3rd place last season.
“I promise to do more for Ghana and thank you and God bless you all.â€
The 29-year-old is expected to line up for the Black Stars when they take on Canada in an international friendly on the 13th of October.
