Black Stars legend Asamoah Gyan has retired from professional football.
The ex-Black Stars captain announced his retirement during the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Afriexim Bank Africa Trade Gateway Conference in Accra today.
“I want to take this great opportunity, a stage that is difficult in every footballer’s career, a moment all footballers do not wish, but when nature dawns, that thin voice will keep echoing into the ears…” Gyan said in a statement.
“It is time…that voice has been clear in my ears, and I have succumbed to it, it is time. It is time to hang the jersey and boots in glory as I retire officially from active football.” He added
Gyan last participated in competitive football during the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season for Legon Cities.
Before leaving for Italy to join Udinese, Gyan began his football career in 2003 with Liberty Professionals.
