\u201cFifteen years ago, I decided to wear the Green, White, and Blue represent you on the International football stage. I never knew what the journey would bring me, but I tell you, I would do it all over again if I had the chance.Today, I am finally hanging up my international jersey to focus on my club career. Now when those international breaks come, I will spend the time with my family, but I will always miss the games at Siaka Stevens Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Thank you, Sierra Leone, for letting your son dream \u2013 a dream that\u2019s not only mine, but also one of many Salone people home and abroad. I will continue to serve you in any way that I can. I wish Leone Stars all the best, and I cannot wait to celebrate your every step of the way.<\/p>\n
