�He (Kingston) has been training with the team since his arrival from Europe and he has impressed during this period,� Crentsil told GHANAsoccernet.com.
�His professionalism and his inspirational role to the other players especially to the young ones is also something we looked at as a management.
�He demonstrated during his time at training that he still has the strength and talent to play so we are happy he decided to re-join us.�
