Juth’s golden boy, James Amankwei, has revealed that he is propelled by the success of Nigerian league legend and Black Stars forward, Joetex Frimpong.
Amankwei, who is the first forward to score consecutive goals in the two-week old NPL made the revelation to Entertainment@Large.com on Tuesday.
“I don’t know Joetex Frimpong, but his performance for Enyimba in the Nigerian league and the Caf Champions League is all that has motivated me so far. I heard a lot about his goal-scoring feat, that’s why I work hard all the time.
“I know hard work will get me to my destination,” he told SuperSport.com Amankwei said his career has blossomed since he got the opportunity to play for Juth. “I only played grassroots football in Ghana. My ambition was to travel to Malaysia, then an agent convinced me to play for Juth.
“The truth is I have enjoyed my game here and have no regrets at all. My game has improved both mentally and physically. I intend to spend sometime in Nigeria before going abroad,” Amankwei stated.
The Ghanaian said his goal at Sharks on match day one remains very special to him. “The goal came during added time. It was a bicycle-kick that displaced the goalkeeper,” he noted.
Amankwei has since wormed his way into the hearts of Juth fans with quality goals and could become a legend like Frimpong. He has spent his career in Nigeria at the Jos based team where he played with league all-time scorer, Ahmed Musa.
“I’m happy Ahmed made a huge impact in the Nigerian league. He was my partner in Juth’s attack before he left for Kano Pillars. We had a great time together,” said the forward.
The Juth forward scored on the road at Sharks and increased his tally at home against Gombe United to put him among the leading scorers in the league.
