However, Bernard Dong Bortey who was part of the Hearts of Oak team that won the CAF Confederations Cup in 2004 tips his former side to win the 2015-15 season’s league after experiencing trophy drought for six seasons

“I have not monitored the current Hearts of Oak coach, but I believe they have the sort of quality in their team to win the league. Playing for Hearts of Oak is about having confidence and character and I think the current playing body has them,” he told Asempa FM.

Dong Bortey will play for the newly promoted premier league side Dreams FC in the upcoming season.

Bortey was once a household name in Ghana and brought a lot of smiles of the faces of the Phobians by scoring plenty of goals and even emerged as the league's joint top-scorer in 2002

The 2015-16 Ghana Premier League (GPL) is scheduled for 20 February, 2016. The Phobians will host New Edubiase United at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium on match day one on Sunday 21 February.
