Former Black Stars defender Samuel Inkoom has advised Ghanaian footballers on the necessity of carefully reading contracts before signing anything.
Inkoom urges his fellow players to take a step back, invest time, and thoroughly review the contract terms before entering into any agreements.
He has a wealth of experience and a good grasp of the potential traps in the world of professional football.
“There are decisions I took alone which would have been better if I had gotten an adviser to give their opinion because such decisions also cost me a lot,” he said in an interview.
“But I will just advise them [footballers] that they shouldn’t sign contracts they do not understand. So far as a team wants you, you can take about four days to read and understand the contract presented before signing. You shouldn’t be in a rush because there are contracts that can make you cry after signing. There are certain things they could put in the contract which is beyond the normal salary.”
