The �Dribbling Magician� feels the former Phobian is too old to fit into his plans as he wants to build a young, but winsome team in the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts of Oak coach Mohammed Polo has insistently stated that he does not need the services of winger Bernard Don-Bortey.
The 31-year-old who rose to fame with the Phobians is harbouring hopes of returning to the team, but the new coach maintains his aim is to build a young, but winsome team.
�We don�t need Don Bortey now,� Polo told Joy FM. �I have a mission and that is to prepare a young team for the future.�
He added: �We are looking at grooming the younger ones for a successful Hearts future and I don�t think Don Bortey falls within this bracket.
�He could be playing well wherever he is but we currently don�t need him. This is not to say that he is not a good player, far from that.�
