Asante Kotoko defender Richard Osei Agyemang is relishing first-team opportunities after spending a large part of the season on the substitute bench.

The versatile guardsman has found game time hard to come by since his return from injury.

But former Berekum Chelsea defender has not given hope of winning back his position in the team.

"Our team is strong so I haven’t given up on myself. I’m not playing as much as I did last season” he said.

“I always train hard. I made it a point to prove myself anytime I get the chance. I’m happy I contributed to the win,” he told Asantekotokosc.com.

“There’s more ahead. I wanted the fans to see that I wasn’t being lackadaisical because of my lack of playing time. The team is dear to my heart. My time will come. That’s why I always tell my fans to pray for me. All that matters is good health”.
