“I signed for Techiman City as a premier league club and not as a division 3 club and the contract form will attest to that, ” he told Kumasi based Boss fm. 

 

”The contractual agreement doesn’t bound on me to join the club to the third division and so it remains if the club decides to accept the ruling from the ethics committee then I’m out Techiman City will go down alone whilst I look for a new chapter in my playing career,” he added.
