Great Olympics midfielder Gladson Awako has expressed much appreciation to Ghana Coach Charles Akonnor for handing him his senior national team debut.

Awako has been one of the standout performers in this season’s Ghana Premier League. His experience and overall quality has pushed his side, Great Olympics into the Top 4.

He was part of the National U-20 side that conquered Africa and the World in 2009 in Egypt

But until then, he had found national team opportunities limited despite having impressive spells with Berekum Chelsea and TP Mazembe.
