Talented striker Franklyn Owusu has been promoted to the senior squad of Hearts of Oak and has begun training with the first team upon recommendation from the head coach, Edward Nii Odoom.

Owusu, who can also slot in at right-wing, is highly rated at the club.

He could have made his senior debut in the cancelled 2019/20 season after training with the first team on several occasions.

The sharp-shooter recently earned a callup to the Ghana national U-20 team and, it is a testament of his improved form since joining the club’s youth set up three years ago.

Owusu will now join the Hearts of Oak squad when training resumes in preparation for the new season.

“I am a very ambitious person and always wants to take up challenges and, I see this one as another opportunity to prove my worth at the senior team of this great club”, Owusu told Hearts Media.

“We will continue to work on him now that he is with the first team, and, I am very confident that going forward, he will become an important player for the club”, Coach Odoom said of the striker.

Owusu hails from Ejisu in the Ashanti region of Ghana and began his football career with Koto Stars a youth side in Sefwi in the Western north of the country.

He attended the Ejisu Secondary School where he stared for the school team and he idolizes Ghana’s all-time leading goal scorer at international level Asamoah Gyan.
