AshantiGold midfielder Kennedy Ashia has accused some sports presenters for retiring experienced players based on their ages but not on performance.
Ashia together with several other experienced players have staged a comeback into the local league ,a development he feels should be hailed by many including sports journalists in the country.
Speaking on sports Express with host Betty Yawson, the former Liberty Professionals and under 20 national star said age does not define the ability of a player.
” It’s very sad when sports journalists always tag experienced players as done and dusted”
“Football is such that the more play the more experienced you get and so they should stop saying aged players should give way for the younger ones because any team in the world will need a blend of experience and youngsters to gel “Ashia told Starr sports
“Most often the so called aged players tend to perform very well compared to the young ones because age they say is just a number and I believe it that “he concluded .
