Ghanaian striker Mohammed Yakubu says he is ready to work with new Maritzburg coach Clinton Larsen.

The former Bloemfontein Celtic manager has swapped jobs with Ernst Middendorp who signed on the former Ashanti Gold striker.

Yakunu who is recuperating from an injury he sustained two weeks ago says he will continue to give his all under manager Larsen

"I personally don’t know him, he met the group and introduced himself to us and from the way he spoke to us individually i could see that we are on the right track,” he told Joy sports

"He personally called me and gave me his word that i will play a key role in his team so I’m 100 percent ready to work for him and achieve my goals as well."
