AS Roma youngster Felix Afena-Gyan donates to his SHS Coach

Felix Afena Ohene-Gyan has donated to his former coach at the Senior High School, Gyabaa Kofi.

Gyan, who has risen to stardom in the shortest possible time, gifted his SHS trainer ten quality footballs and some jerseys for his personal use and also to aid the training program of his former school, Berekum Presbyterian Senior High School.

The AS Roma youngster was spotted by Samuel Mintah, based in Sunyani, who is a scout for famed FIFA licensed agent Oliver Arthur, while representing his school at the Bono Ahafo Regional Inter-schools football competition under the tutelage of Gyabaa Kofi in 2019. 

Afena-Gyan was quickly signed to Oliver Arthur’s Eurafrica FC where he stayed with the juvenile team for about three months before travelling to Italy in January 2021.

He had trials with AS Roma and was scheduled to have trials with other Italian powerhouses like AC Milan and Inter Milan, but the capital club were impressed and gave Afena-Gyan a contract right away. He then joined their junior team, Primavera.

He was selected to start as the Black Stars’ attacking line against Nigeria in the 2022 Fifa World Cup Playoff first leg in Kumasi leg.
