The 25-year-old looks ahead to the Porcupine Warriors' trip to the Nigerian club in the continental inter-club championship

New Asante Kotoko acquisition Augustine Okrah has stated the Porcupine Warriors are determined to avoid defeat in the Caf Champions League away fixture against Nigeria's Kano PillarsÂ on August 10.

The Ghanaians are set to face Masu Gida at the Sani Abacha Stadium in aÂ first round qualifying fixture, two weeks before hosting the return leg in Kumasi.

Okrah is one of a few new faces looking to impress in Africa after making a return to Kotoko following time with the likes of BK Hacken in Sweden, Al-Hilal and Al-Merreikh of Sudan and NorthEast United of India.

â€œTeamwork is what matters. With that, weâ€™re not going to allow them a chance," Okrah told Oyerepa FM.

"I believe we can get a point if we continue with that mentality.

â€œEvery player is working hard and you could see that at training.

"I believe with the hard training and determination, weâ€™ll do well in Nigeria.

â€œWeâ€™re determined despite the game being played away. Weâ€™ll work hard and ensure that we take our chances."

The winners after the two-legged tie are billed to face Hafia FC of Guinea or Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel in the next stage.

Okrah played in the Champions League during his time with Al-Hilal andÂ Al-Merreikh.

The 25-year-old rejoined Kotoko in July following a stint at the club in 2012-13.Â
