Asante Kotoko's Brazilian midfielder, Fabio Gama, has left the shores of Ghana for his native after a successful first sting in the domestic league.

The 28-year-old, who joined the Porcupine Warriors at the start of the season, leaves for Brazil via Ethiopia to spend the holidays with his family.

In photos posted on social media by the player, sighted by YEN.com.gh, Gama posted his arrival in Addis Ababa with his wife and son.

Fabio Gama has been Kotoko's livewire in the just ended season after helping the club finish second in the Ghana Premier League and reaching the quarter finals of the MTN FA Cup.

The Brazilian playmaker scored seven goals in all competitions and provided six assists.

However, the Reds finished the season trophyless after losing the Ghana Premier League title to Hearts of Oak and they were eliminated form the FA Cup by Berekum Chelsea.

Gama is expected to return after his break in Brazil to start preparations for next season, having signed a two year deal with the club.

The mercurial midfielder spent most of his career in Brazil and in Europe, where he played for Varnomo and Jorkorping in Sweden.
