Kumasi Asante Kotoko midfielder Baba Yahaya has admitted that he didn't impress during his debut season with the club.

The talented youngster joined the Porcupine Warriors from King Faisal last year to strengthen the team.

Although he scored two goals and provided five assists in 25 Premier League matches, Yahaya acknowledges that he did not meet expectations.

The attacking midfielder has assured Asante Kotoko fans that he will work diligently to perform better for the team in the next season.

"I didn't live up to the supporters' expectations because I know my capabilities. Every first season comes with its challenges, but I hope to meet the expectations from the second season onwards. I will work hard for this," said Yahaya.

The midfielder and his Asante Kotoko teammates are set to resume training on Friday, June 28, in preparation for the Democracy Cup match against Hearts of Oak.

The match is scheduled to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium on July 5.
