Gor Mahia head coach C.K. Akonnor has explained the circumstances surrounding Enock Morrison’s departure from the Kenyan giants, revealing that the club was unable to match the financial offer presented to the midfielder.
Akonnor stated that Morrison’s decision was influenced by both professional and personal considerations, insisting that the player had every reason to seize the opportunity.
“Enock Morrison left Gor Mahia because we couldn’t compete with the offer. He has family to take care of as well. It’s his moment, and he must enjoy it,” Akonnor said.
The Ghanaian coach’s comments underline the financial realities many African clubs face in retaining top talent when lucrative offers arrive. Akonnor also acknowledged Morrison’s responsibilities off the pitch, expressing understanding for the midfielder’s decision to prioritize his family’s future.
Morrison’s departure brings an end to his stint with Gor Mahia, where he established himself as an important member of the squad. Akonnor’s remarks suggest there are no hard feelings over the move, with the coach backing the player’s decision to embrace the next chapter of his career.
As Morrison begins a new challenge, Akonnor believes the transfer represents a well-deserved opportunity for the midfielder to continue his development while providing greater security for his family.
