Top scorer of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League, Abednego Tetteh, has temporarily quit football after he was was overlooked for a Black Stars call up.

Tetteh starred for Bibiani Gold Stars last season after struggling in the first half of the season with King Faisal.

He went on to win the league top scorer award having netted 18 goals for the Miners last term.

The player was ignored once again by the technical team of the Black Stars, who opted for Medeama Sporting Club’s Jonathan Sowah.

The decision hasn’t gone down well with the former Hearts of Oak man as he has decided to call it a quit for the time being.

“I won the Goal King award but I am very sad. It is the vision of any footballer to do well and earn praises for his hard work but in my case it is not like that. I am very , very sad and I know many people are sad too. For a football nation like Ghana , the goal king of the league is consistently not given a national call-up but players that he overscored are invited to the national team,” Tetteh said on Fox FM on Monday.

“They first called a different striker (Hafiz Wontah of Bechem United) and then for the second time another player that I scored more goals than is called (Jonathan Sowah). What have I done wrong to the GFA people? ” he quized.

“Even look at the GFA awards , all the top scorers of the various leagues won the best player of that league but in my case I was not given the best player award despite being the top scorer of the league season. Have I offended anyone at the GFA? I really do not understand what is going on.”

“Right now I am in the house , I am not playing for any club this season. I will not even play football again for now. It is better to stay in the house than doing myself and not be rewarded. They have started pre-season but I am in the house , I am not playing again for now.”

The 32-year-old has played for Hearts, King Faisal, Bechem United and Gold Stars during his time in Ghana where his stints outside the country also saw him represent Al-Hilal Al-Ubayyid and Al-Hilal Omdurman.
