Hearts of Oak left-back, Raddy Ovouka has penned an emotional farewell to the club ahead of signing for USL championship side, New Mexico United.

The Congo international unilaterally terminated his contract with the defending champions of the Ghana Premier League prior to the start of the new 2021/22 campaign.

In a letter addressed to the club, the left-back wrote:

“To the management, my lovely club ACCRA HEARTS OF OAK and the entire Phobia family

“I’m so grateful for everything you have done for me, my journey wouldn’t have been possible without your love and support(teammates, staff, the fans and love ones).

“As I am embarking on another challenge in my career in New Mexico United, the love and care you all have shown me will never be forgotten.

“As part member of the GREAT OAK FAMILY, It is my dream to visit you in the future.
PHOBIA will still flow in my veins like blood and the NEVER SAY DIE spirit will still live within me.

“Thank you all once again, may God protect you.

“Phobia never say die!!!!”
