Accra Hearts of Oak's poster boy Daniel Afriyie Barnieh has been rewarded with a new Toyota Veloster by his manager after helping the club win the Ghana Premier League.

In a photo sighted by YEN.com.gh on Twitter, posted by the club's fan Naa Bardina, the 18-year-old showed the car to his assistant coach Hamza Obeng, who took a little ride.

The talented striker joined the Phobians in 2020 but had a slow start to life in the capital, however, the arrival of Samuel Boadu sparked life in the forward as he fired Hearts to the league triumph.

Daniel Afriyie Barnieh was instrumental in the club's success this season, after scoring in each of his last three games for the club, including the winner against Asante Kotoko.

In all competitions, the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations Cup winner has bagged seven goals for the club, leading the club to their first league title in eleven years.

His goal against Young Wise propelled Hearts of Oak to the last eight of the MTN FA Cup.

The former Madina Republicans player is just in his first full season for the club and has already been linked with clubs abroad.
