Former Darmstadt forward Braydon Manu is determined to rejoin the Black Stars once he resumes active football.
The 27-year-old was instrumental in Darmstadt's promotion to the top flight, contributing seven goals and seven assists in Bundesliga 2.
However, despite achieving his dream of playing in the Bundesliga, Manu was limited to just four games due to persistent injuries.
“I was really sad that the season ended that way because it was the first time we went up with Darmstadt to play in the Bundesliga. I did my part to be there, and the injuries got me, so I didn’t play that much,” Manu shared in an interview with 3Sports.
“I just played four games, so far as a footballer, it was the worst part of my career, but as a human being, I grew a lot because I get much more comfortable, much deeper with my faith,” he added.
With his contract at Darmstadt expired and the club returning to the second tier of German football, Manu remains optimistic about his future.
Despite his injury setbacks, he is confident in his ability to regain his form and return to the national team.
“I’m ready, I’m hoping that when I start playing again and when I prove myself, they know they have a good Ghanaian player outside of Ghana,” he asserted.
Braydon Manu received his debut call-up for the Black Stars in 2021 for the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Ethiopia but did not make it into the squad.
