"It's a wonderful position to be in and one would not have expected us to be at this stage of the season," he added.

While commending the technical team for a yeoman’s job after the team comfortably secured promotion from the third tier last year, Chairman Oduro also commended teaming supporters of the club.

“We are in a great city, a great fan base, an amazing squad, and hopefully on the pitch, we will do the city and our supporters proud.

“The team has got a fantastic coach in the person of Nathaniel Lamptey. He gets a huge amount of credit from me. Everyone is impressed with the job he's done at the club,” Chairman Oduro said.
