I am someone who likes to take up new challenges and experiences so I am really looking forward to link up with the team". Gadzesaid

Despite his well decorated and glorious CV, Richard remains level headed as sets his sights on the new season.
"I don't want to set any targets as I am more of a team player. Rather than having an individual goal, I prefer to achieve the team one with the help of the coach and my new found teammates. I just want to give my best in training and games and hopefully, we will win some trophies together. I spoke to a couple of guys who have played there and they spoke highly of the league. I can’t wait to put on the Paro FC jersey and fight for her name."
