Asante Kotoko winger Augustine Okrah scored his first Ghana Premier League goal in 2039 days when Kotoko produced a comeback win against Legon Cities on Friday night.

The ex-Bechem United forward scored the equalizer in the 33rd minute, to mark his first goal in 5 years, 6 months and 30 days.

The former Ghana Premier League golden boot winner scored his last GPL goal before last night, in Bechem United's win against Amidaus Professionals on June 14, 2014.

Okrah has been globetrotting since, having played across three continents.

He played for the likes of Al Merreik, Al Hilal in Sudan, had a stint with Helsingborg in Sweden and played for North East United in India.

He returned to Ghana last year to rejoin the Porcupine Warriors and was a member of the Black Stars B team that finished second at the WAFU Zone B Cup of Nations in Senegal.
