Ghanaian striker Bernard Tekpetey has expressed gratitude to Paderborn teammates and staff after following his transfer to Schalke 04 on Saturday.
Schalke activated the buy-back clause to resign inform striker.
The 21-year-old left the Royal Blues last summer to join SC Paderborn and play in Germany’s second tier but returns to the club after just one season.
But following a successful season in which he scored ten goals and provided six assists in 32 appearances to help Paderborn qualify, he has been rewarded with a place in Schalke's team for next season.
Despite his exploits, Tekpetey failed to make Kwesi Appiah's Black Stars squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
I will like to thank the coaching staff, Management team, players, Physio/team doctors ????????God bless everyone and will miss everyone, hope we see us again ???? pic.twitter.com/553X3o2n3q
