DYNAMOS’ new Ghanaian import, Frank Agyemang, typically enjoys his Christmas holidays in the quiet countryside of Effiduase Oyoko in Ashanti back in his home country.
He has done that as far as he can remember, even during the time he was playing for Ghanaian First Division side Pacific Heroes as a teenager around 2019 and 2020.
But his last festive holiday was totally different and somewhat broke with tradition.
Close to inking a deal with the Glamour Boys, a team whose legacy he began to know when he was reading about the history of Ghana’s big teams like Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko around 2017, Agyemang found himself confined to a room in Warren Park 1.
The normally bustling, high-density suburb was unusually quiet, apparently because the inhabitants had visited their rural homes and holiday places for the festivities.
Here and there, loud music was playing as residents enjoyed the day.
But everything wasn’t making sense for the 22-year-old West African, who felt so lonely, not because he didn’t have the resources to fly back to Ghana but because he feared he would risk missing signing for DeMbare.
“It was a painful day for me. I was just days away from living in Warren Park. I didn’t know anyone there, and there wasn’t a single person that I could talk to.
“Even those who stay where I live had gone to visit their relatives. I was alone and very lonely,” said Agyemang.
“It was boring to say the least.
“So, I just told myself to pack up my training gear and headed to a community football field I had seen the previous day.
“Man, I trained the whole day. I did everything: ball work, speed drills, agility, strength, and everything else. I got tired a lot, and that’s when I then went back home.
“I went for a shower then slept until the following day. I didn’t see it (Christmas Day). But I felt very much better the day after.
“The four or five days that followed were even worse, but I could always talk to my manager, Adomsi Mukosi, who made me feel at home.
“I was always training, each day, but the Christmas session was more intensive.”
Agyemang is looking forward to a brighter future with the Glamour Boys, especially after seeing his move to Europe falter.
“I would be honest with you. I played football at a lower level in Ghana because I was still a student. First, I was at Pacific Heroes in the First Division.
“Someone identified me there and took me for trials with a Turkish Division One side, Umraniyespor. I passed the audition, but I was supposed to go for an attachment somewhere else.
“Somehow the deal collapsed.
“With everything seemingly taking too long for me to materialise, I was training with a Division Two club back home, Kairos FC, but never played for them. Unbeknown to me, they had registered me.
“I only got to know about it when I was about to be registered by Dynamos. The clearance has since come, but it was a huge scare and a big surprise for me when I learned about it.”
With everything now settled and Agyemang feeling very much at home in Warren Park, where he can at least hang around with some friends, he said he is more focused than ever.
“What I know is that Dynamos is a big club,” he said.
“The expectations are very high. I am very happy to be part of such a demanding team. I was signed to put the ball into the nets, and that’s what I am hoping to do.
“I am looking forward to the commencement of the season and showcasing my skills.
“I am a striker, and I have been given a contract, a contract to score and create goals. That’s what I am going to do. I can’t wait for the season to start.”
Dynamos coach Lloyd “MaBlanyo” Chigowe has since anointed the Ghanaian forward.
“The boy is very good. He showed it right from the day he arrived at training last year,’’ Chigowe said.
“I was very much impressed with his overall play as a striker.
“I am very much impressed with his eye for goal and his overall play. He is a good player who can give us a lot of value.”
Dynamos will be hoping that Agyemang quickly settles as they need someone to lead their line as they chase glory both on the domestic front and in the CAF Confederation Cup.
