| Andre Randall Mouses, Asko Kara FC player |
Andre, 22, and 1.70m light, is a
Liberian born national currently playing for Asko Kara FC of Nigeria where he has
been playing regularly in the first starting line-up for the club throughout
the seasons since joining the team in the two different categories over the years.
He joined the club side first in the
junior category from 2004 to 2007 before graduating to the senior side the
following year, and won himself a first choice player in the left centre back.
Apart from his regular position in the
field, Andre also plays midfield and attacking front and he could also wear the
shoes of a central defender.
According to his flight schedule, Andre
is expected to jet in The Gambia on 27 March from Nigeria to meet with
Steve Biko’s officials for a positive deal.
The 22-year-old started playing his
football career in his native country Liberia since his childhood before moving
to Nigeria to join Asko Kara FC’s junior side in 2004.
While in Nigeria, he moved to Togo under
the contract of his Nigerian side to continue his trade.
He gathered different experiences in
different countries for one year and returned to Nigeria in 2010.
When Gambia Sports News Online contacted
Andre to give his side of his transfer mission, he replied: “I would like to
confirm to you that I want to play my football career in The Gambia, especially
before the end of this year.
“The fact of the matter is that I definitely
want to play in a country that I will have the chance to naturalize my
nationality and play for that particular country.
“As for now I am qualified to play for
any nation where I find myself because I have never sat on the bench, neither
have I played for any national side in all the three countries I have plied my
football career, including my home country Liberia.
“For me, right now, my aim is to play
football in a place where I can go further to achieve my dreams in the
profession, and I am ready to undergo different situations to get what I want. “I am only looking for better
opportunities in life to become what I want to be.”
Asked by this reporter how did he know
about Gambian football and what made him to want to play in The Gambia, Andre
said: “I know about Gambian football through my regular visit to The Gambia’s
famous sports blog (Gambia Sports News Online) where I read many interesting
football articles, especially in the first divisional games, even though I don’t
know about those teams.
“Teams in The Gambia have a future and,
to be honest, I want to have such opportunities in my lifetime as a footballer;
that is why I have chosen to come and play in The Gambia.”
For his part, Steve Biko’s head coach Abdoulie
Bojang expressed interest in the arrival of Andre on the proposed date.

According to him, the entire team will
welcome the player and open their arms for him to settle down like any other
player in the team.
Steve Biko’s Manager Abdoulie Bojang
said further: “The arrival of Andre will help the team, especially in the
second round, as the first round is about to conclude.
“Currently we don’t have a permanent
full left centre back, our only hopeful Saikou Jawara (Okocha) is on a trial in
Europe; so we need his replacement in the quickest possible terms. Over the
years I have coached both Liberians and Nigerians in my team Steve Biko.
“Andre’s arrival will not be a different
thing for me to manage; rather it will be a continuous thing for me. One thing
I know is that we may not be paying as expected of him, but with Steve Biko we
have channels for our players to brighten their future,” the Biko manager
highlighted.
