Cameroonian forward Georges Mfegue Omgba has shed light on how injuries took a toll on his performance during his third season at Asante Kotoko, which ultimately led to his departure from the club.
Mfegue, one of the players among the 18 released by the Porcupines as his contract expired, revealed that his struggles in the just-concluded season were largely due to recurring injuries.
Joining the Porcupine Warriors in 2021 from Avion Academy, the 27-year-old initially made a significant impact, forming a potent attacking duo with fellow Cameroonian Franck Etouga Mbella as they contributed to Kotoko’s triumph in the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League.
However, Mfegue’s form waned in the following season, with the forward managing just 12 league appearances and one assist.
Despite his decline in performance, he departed on amicable terms with the club after his contract was not renewed.
Speaking exclusively to Ghanasportspage.com, Mfegue explained, “They (Kotoko) didn’t sack me because my contract with them ended this month and they didn’t renew for me. We had a discussion and we agreed to part ways mutually”
“I had a lot of injuries that’s why I didn’t play much last season. It affected my performance too, that’s why I was mostly not playing.” He told Ghanasportspage.com.
Although his final season at Kotoko was challenging, Mfegue leaves behind a notable legacy, having featured in 64 league matches and scoring 11 goals during his three-year tenure at the club.
