Ghana striker John Antwi has attributed his record-breaking form in Egypt to ‘hardwork’.

The 26-year-old bagged a hat-trick over the weekend in  Misr El Maqasa’s 4-3 win over ENPPI to become the highest goalscoring foreigner in the Egyptian league with 63 goals across five seasons.

Antwi’s feat which also includes emerging top goalscorer in the league on two occassions has seen him hog the headlines worldwide with the only inquest being his lack of opportunities at international level.

The former Dreams FC striker however puts his impressive form down to hardowrk.

“Well I will say hardowork is what has brought me this far,” he told FootballmadeinGhana.com.

“I have always believed in my quality as a striker and I knew to be successful I have to put in the work and be disciplined.

“This is exactly what I have done in my time here and I’m glad it is paying off.”

During his time in Egypt, Antwi has featured for Ismaily, Al Ahly and now with Maqasa.

He had a brief stint in Saudi Arabia with Al Shabab.
