‘I haven’t retired, I want to play in Saudi Arabia’ – GPL legend Charles Taylor

Charles Taylor, a Ghana Premier League legend, has recently revealed that he has not retired from football and would be open to the opportunity of playing for a club in Saudi Arabia.

Since joining Berekum Chelsea in the Ghana Premier League back in 2014, Charles Taylor has not been affiliated with any club.

However, he expresses his desire to continue playing and states that he is still physically fit, unlike Asamoah Gyan, who has officially retired from the sport.

At 41 years old, Taylor believes he possesses the necessary qualities to actively contribute on the field. However, he prefers the idea of playing for a club in Saudi Arabia rather than returning to the Ghana Premier League.

During an interview on Angel Sports, monitored by GhanaWeb, Charles Taylor clarified that he has not retired from football, unlike Asamoah Gyan.

He emphasized his willingness to play for two hours and highlighted the shift in playing style where intelligence plays a greater role rather than sheer physical strength.

Nevertheless, he made it clear that he has no plans to participate in the Ghana league and would eagerly join a team in Saudi Arabia if given the opportunity.

“Asamoah Gyan has retired but the rest like myself, we haven’t retired. If I have retired, I would have said it,” Charles Taylor said on Angel Sports.

“I still have what it takes to play for two hours. These days we don’t play football with strength, we use the head. But I won’t play in the Ghana league, if I get a team in Saudi Arabia I will join.”

Notably, the former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak player boasts an impressive resume, having won five Ghana Premier League titles, as well as the CAF Champions League and Super Cup.
