After a stellar season with Bibiani Gold Stars, the striker is on the verge of being named the 2022–2023 betPawa Premier League top goalscorer with 18 goals, while Hafiz Konkoni remains in contention with 16 goals.
After an abysmal career at Al-Hilal Omdurman, Jimma Aba Bunna, Hilal El Obied, Real Kashmir, and TRAU FC, the striker reignited his football career with Accra Hearts of Oak in the betPawa Premier League on August 19, 2021.
The former Bechem United striker failed to score a goal in five appearances for the Phobians in the 2020–2021 betPawa Premier League and was transferred to Kumasi King Faisal on August 20, 2022, for the 2022–2023 league season.
After 11 league games for King Faisal, he scored against Kotoku Royals and Accra Lions, both at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, but he was forced to leave in the season’s transfer window after being labelled as undisciplined by the technical staff.
Abednego Tetteh has been in great scoring form for Bibiani Gold Stars under coach Michael Osei in the second round of the 2022-2023 season, scoring his first goal for the Bibiani-based club against Kotoku Royals, the last club he scored against while playing for King Faisal.
Abednego Tetteh has banged in 16 goals for Bibiani Gold Stars in the second round of the season to attain 18 goals in the season, and he is likely to be crowned the top goal scorer of the season after the last round of matches in the betPawa Premier League.
Kassim Mingles, the head coach of Bechem United, stated after the Week 33 league games that the player he spotted for Bechem United in 2016 must score legitimate goals to be named the season’s top goal scorer.
The striker responded in an interview with Sometymer on Oyerepa FM’s Total Sports on Thursday morning.
“I scored two goals for King Faisal this season, and I received insults from many Ghanaians due to the two goals.” “By God’s grace, I have scored 16 goals for my new club, and as a coach, you condemn them as not legitimate goals,” Abednego revealed.
Abednego told Sometymer how he rose to prominence and who recruited him to play in the Ghana Premier League.
He stated, “It was coach Mingles who brought me into the spotlight. I was performing in a Sunday special at Ashaiman when he came to get me. What qualities did he discover in me that enabled me to play in the Ghana Premier League? Did you thrust me into the limelight so I could play in an illegitimate league and score illegitimate goals?
