Don Bortey To Quit Hearts

Don Bortey, the speedy winger, says he has been disappointed with the handling of his move to Switzerland side FC Zurich. Bortey says he was flown from Zurich to honor Phobia's league match with Kotoko with the understanding that after the game he will return. He said, after the game, he was convinced by the "Big Men" to stay and play in the 2nd leg league game with Kotoko after which he will go for good to honor his overseas deal. According him, the "Big Men" said they had to properly process his relocation documents to enable him go to Zurich.

Bortey said, a few days after the match he was informed that his papers were ready and that he should pick them at the Swiss Embassy. He said, when he got there, he was told that the "Big Men" had put a freeze on his release to Switzerland. He indicated that as a result he has no alternative but to say bye-bye to Hearts at the end of this season and move on.

Asked where his next stop will be, Bortey said, he wants to play abroad and will look there first, but if things don;t work out he will continue to play in Ghana, but not Hearts of Oak. Asked which team he will play for, he said it could be any team in the premier league, but not Hearts of Oak.
