Congolese giants Tout Puissant Mazembe have officially announced the departure of Ghana midfielder Gladson Awako from the club.

The-26-year-old joined the former CAF Champions League winners in 2012 from Ghana Premier League side Berekum Chelsea and went on to register 13 goals in 90 appearances.

The former Ghana youth international was shipped out on loan at Don Bosco after failing to hold down a regular starting spot before ending his five year stay with the club following the expiration of his contract.
The club's official statement reads "The TPM wishes to thank Gladson AWAKO whose contract has come to an end,"

"Arrived in 2012 at the Ravens from Berekum Chelsea of ??Ghana, the midfielder has finished his loan to CS Don Bosco."

"His talent, professionalism and undeniable technical qualities have made Galdson one of the midfielders noted during his five years in the Democratic Republic of Congo."

"During his three years at the TPM and two years of loan to the CS Don Bosco where he flourished, Gladson AWAKO was noted for his involvement in the game and thus greatly helped the group to progress."

"The very strong competition in this sector of play has unfortunately prevented it from imposing itself on the Crows."

"We would like to thank the Ghanaian international and wish him the best for the rest of his career."

The nimble footed midfielder is reported to be holding talks with Ghana Premier League side Asante Kotoko.
