Hearts of Oak's Confederation Cup hero Sannie Mohammed explains ditching football for Ghana police

Former Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Sannie Mohammed has shed light on his decision to prematurely ditch football to join the Ghana police.

After gaining prominence in 2004-05 in helping the Phobians win the Caf Confederation Cup, the 33-year-old mysteriously soon vanished from the football scene.

Years on, it emerged he quit football to take up a job with the national security force.

“The players' welfare has not been a priority for the clubs in Ghana," Sannie told Best FM.

“The players are not insured, hence, some players suffer after their retirement from football.
