Awako became a subject of interest for several club both locally and internationally but opted to join the rainbow boys.

Speaking to Joy Sports, he disclosed Great Olympics wanted to keep him at the club but decided to go in for a new challenge.

“So, it wasn’t easy but as a player I needed to move on to have new challenged and all that, so I spoke with the Board Chairman, Oluboi Commodore and the coach, Annor Walker which wasn’t easy but they have to understand that am human and I have to move on”

“They came to understand that this is my work and I need to move on and have a new challenge, so it wasn’t easy” he said.
