I started my career as a striker – Felix Annan


Talented Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Annan has revealed that he started off as a striker earlier in his football career before switching to the goalkeeper position.

Felix Annan has developed into one of the goalkeepers in the country, he was recently included in the Ghana Black Stars squad to play in the AFCON qualifiers later this month against Kenya.



In an interview with Cafonline, the 24-year old revealed how he started his career.

“I started as a striker at a youth club in Achimota. As if by fate, something happened during one of our games and that changed my destiny on the pitch.

“There was a time our goalkeeper failed to turn up for an important game and my coach asked me to keep the post.

“I gave a good account of myself that day and have never looked back. Initially, I didn’t like the idea, but after a couple of matches I grew into loving my new position and here am I today.



Felix Annan is currently the first choice goalkeeper and assistant captain for Asante Kotoko.
