Osei Boateng will hang up gloves in 2014<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ex-Ghana youth international Osei Boateng has confirmed he will quit football by 2014 following a topsy-turvy career.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Liberty Professionals gloves man is quitting the game after failing to establish himself despite been tipped for greatness.<\/p>\n

The former Asante Kotoko shot-stopper says he will call time on his career in the next three years to focus on other areas in the game.<\/p>\n

He told Happy FM: \u201cI believe I have had my bit of the game and think the next three years will be fine for me to hang my gloves for younger ones,\u201d the 30-year-old told Happy FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever I will not be leaving football entirely as I have other plans. But at the moment I want to concentrate in my last three years of the career and then we\u2019ll take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boateng has had a bittersweet experience in the game after he was banned for a year in 2002 after been charged for improper conduct in Kotoko\u2019s Premier League game against defunct Power FC.<\/p>\n

He was a member of the Ghana Under-17 team which won silver at the 1997 Fifa World Cup in Egypt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
