“Sharing the pitch with top players like Sulley Muntari, Samuel Inkoom and Gladson Awako at Hearts of Oak was great. Playing with them made me feel I have reached a higher pedestal. Truth be told, they thought us how to succeed in the game and I believe their teachings has really helped us”
“They made us know real football stories on how to attain greater heights in the football world. It isn’t easy to be in the same team with Sulley Muntari. I starred at Sulley Muntari for over three (3) minutes when he arrived at Hearts of Oak’s training grounds for the first time. Of course I was star struck. Sulley nicknamed me “The General”, the first day we trained together”
Obuo won the Ghana Premier League with Hearts of Oak during the 2021/22 season as well as two FA Cup titles.
The enterprising winger forward is currently without a club after mutually parting ways with the Phobians at the end of the season.
The young Ghanaian attacker departs the club as he seeks for more playing time next season.
