According to him, he has always wanted to become a goalkeeper but his parents preferred having him in school instead.
He said being in prison has dealt him a massive reality check and, he doesn’t just look forward to being reformed, but also taking advantage of every opportunity to launch a career.
Aboagye said he looks up to Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana and says he hopes to emulate the success of the young Cameroonian goalie.
His story reached Onana after it was shared on Twitter, with the Ajaz star subsequently promising to send Aboagye a signed jersey and gloves.
