Former Hearts of Oak defender Vincent Atinga has debunked reports linking him to a possible return to club.

Atinga's contract expired at the end of season and has been declared free agent by the Ghana FA Player Status Committee.

Recent reports in the local media claim the centre back will be making a u-turn to re-sign after a reported failed move abroad.

But that has been dispelled by the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations winer.

"I am not returning to Hearts of Oak, I wouldn't have gone for floating if I wanted to return. Period!,'' Atingah told OTEC FM.
