‘Free agent’ Victor Aidoo opens up on his difficult spell at Hearts of Oak

Striker Victor Aidoo has officially confirmed his departure from Hearts of Oak SC following the conclusion of his contract with the club.

After joining the Phobians in 2020 on a three-year contract from FC Samartex, Aidoo’s contract has now expired, and the club has decided not to renew it, making him a free agent.

During his time with Hearts of Oak, the 24-year-old striker had limited opportunities to showcase his talent and was loaned out to Real Tamale United last season. As a result, Aidoo has made the decision to seek new challenges elsewhere in order to continue his development.

“I no longer have any affiliation with the club. I lost interest in Hearts of Oak due to the way they treated me,” Aidoo stated.

“Before the start of the season, I was in the final year of my contract, and the club approached me about an extension before sending me out on loan. However, I declined and requested a mutual termination of my contract, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”

“As a result, I was asked to stay at home until my contract expired, and I did not participate in the first half of the campaign.”

“However, when Coach Matic arrived, I was called to join the team for training, and I impressed them. Subsequently, I was registered for the second round to fulfill the remaining six months of my contract,” Aidoo explained, as quoted by Sportsworldghana.com.

Throughout his three-year tenure with the Phobians, Aidoo made 53 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing one assist. He played a significant role in Hearts of Oak’s success, contributing to their triumph in the MTN FA Cup and the league title in the 2021/22 season, as well as their recent victory in the President’s Cup.
