Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Osei Boateng has pitched camp with Accra Hearts of Oak.

The former Kotoko number one goalie who is making a return to competitive soccer action after over a year?s absence, has already began training with Hearts in preparation for the new premier league season.

Osei Boateng, also former national goalkeeper, did not don red jersey last season as a result of a one-year ban placed on him by the Ghana Football Association for assaulting a Power FC player in a league match two seasons ago.

But Hearts coach Ernst Middendorp, is confident he can regain his form to stake a claim to a position in his team.
