Former Hearts of Oak goalkeepersââ¬â¢ trainer Abubakar Damba sees wisdom in Philemon McCarthyââ¬â¢s decision to leave the club.
McCarthy failed to reach an agreement with Hearts after the expiration of his contract and was not handed a new deal.
Also, the arrival of former Kotoko goalkeeper Soulama Abubakar meant he would have played second fiddle to the Burkina Faso international.
Damba believes McCarthy has done his career a lot good to look elsewhere.
ââ¬ÅWhen you look at the trend of modern day goalkeeping you will realize that McCarthy has got those attributes,â⬠Damba said.
ââ¬ÅThe ability to command your defence and initiate attacks and at important times bail out your defenders.
ââ¬ÅAll these qualifies are found in him so I sincerely think he has weighed the options and decided that playing regularly elsewhere would do him a lot good.ââ¬
McCarthy has been linked with a move back to his former club Fetteh Feyenoord Academy now under the name West Africa Football Academy.
