Elmina Sharks winger Richard Mpong has dreams of playing in Europe after over a decade on the local scene.

The former Ghana U-20 player began his career with Gamba All Blacks in 2007 before moving on to play for the likes of Medema, Asante Kotoko and Aduana Stars.

“I’ve played all my professional football on the local scene since 2007 and it’s my prayer that one day I will play for a foreign club before ending my career,” he told footballmadeinghana.com.

“It’s my dream. I’ve served the local league well and I been praying fervently to get a deal to travel out and play before calling it a day on my career.

“It will be a painful experience for me if I end my career without getting the chance to play for any foreign club.

“Even if I get a six-months deal to play outside, it will be a dream come true,” he virtually begged.

Richard Mpong was a member of the Black Meteors team that won gold at the All Africa Games in 2011 in Congo.
