STEPHEN APPIAH RETIRES FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL
After 68 games and 17 goals for the national team – Ghana Black Stars, I have decided to retire from International Football with immediate effect.
I will no longer be available for selection for the national team and will like to concentrate on my club career
I have enjoyed my time playing for Ghana from the youth teams right through to the senior team and I am truly grateful for having the opportunity to serve my country. It has been an honour and privilege to play for Ghana
I am proud of my achievements with the national team especially being the first captain to take Ghana to her first world Cup in Germany in 2006. I am also pleased to have been part of the squad in South Africa and can hold my head high and say I gave my all to Ghana
A big thank you to my family and friends, the people of Ghana , every Black Stars player I have played with, the GFA and to all the fans that have supported me throughout my Black Stars career
I will still be a Black Stars supporter but for now I want to concentrate on my club career. I know I have a few more years left in me at the highest level and I am looking forward to it
