Former Black Stars goalkeeper, Richard Kingston believes Richard Ofori is a great prospect for the nation but will need direction.
The Wa All Stars keeper put in an impressive performance on his Black Stars debut in the playoff game against Burkina Faso and many have called for him to be included regularly.
However, the former Wigan Athletic goalkeeper believesOfori is a great prospect but will still need to be directed.
“We have great goalkeepers but they need directions," he told Mavis Amanor on Ladies Time.
“During the AFCON in Gabon, I had a call from Richard Ofori when he was selected to be in the post against Burkina Faso and I gave him advice."
"I was really impressed with his performance because that was his first competitive match for the country."
“After the match, I said if this guy gets good direction I believe he will be in the post for the country for a long time."
“We have seen the likes of Adam Kwarasey in the Black Stars but because they couldn’t get proper direction their performance was not up to the peak because he was performing when I was around the team.” He added.
Ofori has left Wa All Stars in search of a contract in South Africa.
