I was hurt when the Division One League got cancelled last season- Star Madrid captain Jeff Tierro

Star Madrid skipper Jeff Tierro has revealed that he was sad and hurt when the Division One League was abruptly cancelled the previous season.

Ghana's second tier competition started well during the 2019/20 campaign but the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic forced the early cancellation of the competition. It affected Star Madrid FC who are part of the teams vying for promotion into the Ghana Premier League.

Tierro stated that the abrupt end of the competition jeopardised a potential move abroad.

"I felt very hurt and worried because our league was off for two years," he stated in an exclusive interview with footballghana.com.

"On my side, things was going well for me when the season started. I got some offers from outside Ghana but when the covid came in and the league was cancelled, I felt very hurt and worried [as it did not help my chances abroad]".

The midfielder previously featured for Nzema Kotoko.

Star Madrid will begin their Division One League campaign on 13th January, 2021.
