Ghana and Phoenix Rising Star Solomon Asante, has set his sight on defending the awards he picked up last season as the new USL championship begins.
Solomon Asante started the new season on a good note helping his side to record a 4-0 win over LA Galaxy 2.
The former Berekum Chelsea winger scored a brace in the game to begin his defense for the awards he picked up last season.
Speaking in an interview with Ghana’s number one Sports Station Happy 98.9FM after helping his team pick a win in the USL Championship opener over the weekend he said, “I am very happy to have scored and assisted in our win against LA Galaxy 2.
“I am hoping to maintain all the awards that I won last season. It has been three years since I joined the club and I hope to do more this season.
He added: “It is good to return to the field after a long break due to the coronavirus pandemic. After football restart things have been different. When I scored in our game, I tried to jubilate but I realize the fans were not there. I am excited football has returned”.
Solomon Asante last season swooped four awards at the Phoenix Rising gala for his outstanding contributions to the team’s success in the 2019 USL Championship regular season.
He claimed his club’s Golden Boot, Most Valuable Player, Goal of the Season and Players’ Player awards last season.
