Hearts defender Philip Boampong has issued a groveling apology to the fans for abandoning the club in search of greener pastures.
The centre-back only re-joined the side after failing a trial session with American Major League side Chicago Fire.
The 24-year-old is yet to feature for the side since he returned from his botched trip.
The former Ghana Under-20 strong defender feels sorry for his decision to leave for trials at the time that the Accra side needed his services.
ââ¬ÅI want to apologise to the fans that I left for US,â⬠he said
ââ¬ÅI left without telling anybody but it wasnââ¬â¢t intentional. It was something which needed to be done.
ââ¬ÅI am glad to be back and looking forward to playing a role in the remaining matches.
ââ¬ÅI know the fans love me and they will forgive me. They (fans) know what I can do and so they should pray for me.ââ¬
Hearts trail leaders Kotoko by 12 points.
