The Strasbourg striker holds a special place in Hartpury College’s history, as evidenced by a’success story’ profile on their website.
When he came on for the Black Stars against Portugal in 2014, he became their first-ever student (former or current) to appear in a World Cup.
Hartpury Director of Football, Tom Radcliffe, said at the time that “it was absolutely fantastic to see a Hartpury student perform on the biggest stage in football and we are all so proud of him. He was exemplary during his time here, showing the hard work and determination that he shows in every match, so this was extremely well deserved.
“This just goes to show the strength of our programme here and I’m confident that Waris will have a big role to play for Ghana in many World Cups and major competitions to come.”
