Former Asante Kotoko midfielder, Enoch Morrison has explained he chose Kenyan giants Gor Mahia ahead of Hearts of Oak mainly due to monetary issues.
The versatile middleman is a victim of the mass player exodus at his former club Asante Kotoko at the end of last season by head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum.
He was chased by lots of clubs afterwards with Hearts of Oak the front runners, per reports but ended up signing for the Kenyan champions in a very astonishing fashion.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM, the former King Faisal star admitted he switched to East Africa because they offered him a better salary- one he's never received in his entire spell in the Ghanaian topflight.
He further stated Ghanaian clubs doesn't pay enough as he can boldly state no player in the Ghana Premier League earns 12,000 cedis and above at the moment.
"I would have joined Hearts of Oak if they had offered me a salary that was even remotely comparable to what Gor Mahia is paying me. Our salaries in Ghana are extremely low.
"The salaries that the foreign clubs offers us are not so high that Ghanaian clubs cannot compete.
"Ghanaian Clubs ought to assist footballer, as we are enduring hardships. It would have been a wise move to change careers if, after playing for Kotoko and Hearts, I am unable to support myself financially through my football career.
"I was unable to make a decent living at Kotoko with my salary.
"I suggest that a local player at Hearts or Kotoko earn at least Gh¢12000 or Gh¢13000 so he can make a good living from it. During my time at Kotoko, no local player was given such amount.
"The clubs should assist us, because we are truly in need", he concluded
In his first season with Kotoko, Morrison made 31 appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists, before building on that form in his second campaign, where he made 22 appearances, scoring once and providing two assists.
He's started preseason with the 21-time Kenyan conquerors already and is looking forward to establishing himself as mainstay right away before the commencement of the 2024/25 football season.
