Joe Hendricks: Asante Kotoko legend turns truck driver in UK

Former Asante Kotoko skipper Joe Hendricks has relocated to the United Kingdom and he is enjoying life as a truck driver.

He joins the list of former Asante Kotoko players including Mark Adu Amfofah, Kwame Obeng Darko, and Nana Arhin Duah, among others who have relocated to live abroad after bidding farewell to football.

The former Ghanaian international moved to the UK months ago but as excited as he is, the 48-year ex-footballer has described his new job as great, adding that he has become an expert in his role.

In a video spotted by GhanaWeb, Hendricks popularly known as ‘Oreba’ said he would send home some cash but it would take some time.

According to him, most Ghanaians who have stayed abroad for over 20 years deserve all the best, adding that now he is an expert in the packages of boxes.

Hendricks began his career with Sekondi Eleven Wise before being transferred to Asante Kotoko in 1999 where he was named the captain after a few years with the Porcupine Warriors before he left in 2005.

After six years with Asante Kotoko, Hendricks joined Ashantigold SC in 2006, and after a year with the Miners, he moved to Israel side Hapoel Rishon Le Zion in 2007 and left in 2009.

He returned to the local scene to play for All Blacks and Medeama SC between 2009 and 2012.
