Defender Rashid Sumaila has vowed to do his best to cement a place in the Black Stars team.

The center-back made a return to the team after a successful season with Qatari Club Al Gafrah.

The former Kotoko and Ebusua Dwarfs player has been out of the National team since 2014.

Sumaila was dropped for Ghana’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations squad having trained with the team prior to the competition.

The 2013 Ghana Premier League best defender is ready to do his best to secure a permanent spot in the senior National team.

“I am really happy to be back and I thank the technical handlers of the team, now is up to me to do my best,” he spoke to the press.

“I will try and work hard so I stay in the team, the training has been good and everyone is happy.”

The Black Stars will continue their non-residential training this afternoon at the Accra Sports Stadium.
