Ghanaian midfielder Enoch Morrison has explained his decision to join Kenyan Premier League side Gor Mahia FC instead of Hearts of Oak, despite strong connections with the Ghanaian giants.

Morrison, who was previously with Asante Kotoko, was heavily linked with a move to Hearts of Oak last month, but the transfer did not materialize. In an interview with Akoma FM, he expressed regret over the deal’s collapse and offered his apologies.

“Hearts of Oak did not communicate with me directly, which complicated the deal. I was aware of their interest, but the process took longer than expected. Had the delay not occurred, I would have signed for Hearts of Oak,” Morrison explained.

He added, “During our discussions, the Hearts coach showed great interest and outlined how I would fit into his team. Since both parties were keen on the move, I cannot blame Hearts for the deal falling through. I apologize for any confusion and hope they understand that it was not intentional.”

Morrison also expressed a desire to potentially play for Hearts of Oak in the future, indicating that a move could still be possible down the line.
