Former Hearts of Oak striker, Sadat Karim has revealed that consistent injuries hampered his success at Hearts of Oak.

The Halmstad BK forward joined the Ghana Premier League giants during the 2011/12 season where many had hopes he was going to blossom and excel.

Things, however, didn’t turn out the way many expected as a nagging groin injury forced the club to release Sadat.

“I supported Hearts of Oak at a very young age and till date, I still follow the club because of the love I have for it,” the former King Faisal striker told Kumasi-based Haske Radio.

“So when I had the opportunity to play for the club, I was happy because if you get into a club you love, the love increases.

“However I struggled with a chronic groin injury for almost two years which hampered my chances at Hearts and even when I left for Inter Allies,” he added.
