Former Ghana Under-20 star, Clifford Aboagye says his stature has been a hindrance in his football career.

According to the 2013 Fifa U20 World Youth Championship third-best player, he was rejected by clubs due to his height disadvantage.

“In the early days of my career at Inter Allies, it was a challenge even with all my skills,” he told Tv3.

“My stature has been a hindrance to me but I never thought of giving up because I know the talent I have and what I can do with the ball especially in midfield,” he added.

He continued:”With this stature, you get people saying you need to build up on your body but I know the qualities I have, not all players have that quality so I have always been firm on my stature.

The 25-year old now plays for Mexican club Querétaro F.C. on loan from Club Atlas.

Aboagye spent four years in Spain, where he played for Granada B before deciding to make a move from Europe to North America.
