Of course I\u2019m a loyal fan of Kotoko so I will be very glad to renew my contract. My late dad loved the club with his heart and when I got the opportunity to play for Kotoko he was very happy. I know that even in his grave, he is happy that I\u2019m still playing for this club. He will even want me to extend my stay at the club so yes, I\u2019m ready to renew my contract\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, the Communications Director of Kotoko, Obed Acheampong has confirmed that the clubs has released five players of its first team players.<\/p>\n<p>The list includes veteran goalkeeper Isaac Amoako, Kwame Boateng-who spent the second half of last season on loan at relegated Great Olympics.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe rest are defenders Evans Quao, Atta Kusi and striker Emmanuel Osei, who was loaned out to Bechem United last term.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Coach Pollack requested for some players to beef up the squad ahead of the season but we are yet to acquire any of them for him. We should sign new players very soon,&#8221; the club&#8217;s Communication Director Obed Acheampong said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RfI-fugnTn4?ecver=2\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: 55 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Wednesday, 13 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-13 play videoEric Donkor would like to renew his contract with Kotoko Deputy skipper of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Eric Donkor has expressed his readiness to renew his contract with the club, stating that extending his contract will be a display of his innate love and commitment [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":446711,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-446709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I will renew my contract with Kotoko - Eric Donkor - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/13\/i-will-renew-my-contract-with-kotoko-eric-donkor\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"I will renew my contract with Kotoko - Eric Donkor - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Sports News of Wednesday, 13 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-13 play videoEric Donkor would like to renew his contract with Kotoko Deputy skipper of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Eric Donkor has expressed his readiness to renew his contract with the club, stating that extending his contract will be a display of his innate love and commitment [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/13\\\/i-will-renew-my-contract-with-kotoko-eric-donkor\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/13\\\/i-will-renew-my-contract-with-kotoko-eric-donkor\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"I will renew my contract with Kotoko &#8211;
