Kwame Opoku, a forward for Asante Kotoko, believes leaving the team was a difficult choice after rejoining.
The former Nkronsah Warriors striker, who left the team in 2021 after a stellar season, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to return.
Opoku played a crucial role for Kotoko before leaving to join USM Alger, a team based in Algeria.
In an interview with the club's media, Opoku talked about the emotional agony he went through the night before he left.
It was not easy for me to leave Kotoko. I felt horrible about leaving a fantastic club like Kotoko the morning before I left. I had been linked to the team and the fans who made me feel welcome, so it was not easy," he remarked.
The 25-year-old striker had a big impact before moving to Algeria, scoring nine goals and becoming an important member of the club.
Despite his outstanding performances, he left Kotoko without obtaining any silverware, something he is determined to change when he returns.
"To compete on the continent and win trophies, I have to assist the squad as a whole in achieving its objectives. I did not win any trophies during my first stay, but I think I have a lot to contribute this time," he continued.
Opoku, who was formally introduced before Kotoko triumphed over Hearts of Oak on Sunday, is anticipated to have a strong offensive partnership with Albert Amoah, who is currently in excellent form.
It is unclear if he will play in this weekend's Matchday 14 matches at the Tuba Astro Turf versus Dreams FC.
