Bernard Dong Bortey (born 22 September 1982) is a Ghanaian retired footballer who played as an attacking winger.[3]

Career[edit]

Bortey began his career in 2000 with Ghapoha ReadersinTema. One year later, he moved to Accra Hearts of Oak SC and became an integral part of the "64 Battalion" and a deadly force alongside Charles Asampong Taylor, Ishmael Addo, Emmanuel Osei Kuffour. Hearts loaned him out in 2002 to Al Wasl FCinDubai, where he played for 6 months. He returned in June 2002 to Hearts where he won the league and shared the Top Scorer award with Charles Asampong Taylor.[4]

Since 2015 in Sweden with Ånge IF, Bortey was without club until signing with Ghanaian club Accra Great Olympics in December 2019.[5] However, in the beginning of January 2020, Olympics manager Prince George Koffie said, that he hadn't seen Bortey yet and therefore wasn't a part of his team.[6] A few days later Bortey said that he didn't receive the financial benefits he was promised when he signed the contract and that he wouldn't play until they had paid him.[7] On 6 April 2020, Bortey officially announced his retirement and expressed, that he would like to be a coach.[8][9]

International career[edit]

Bortey played seven games for the Ghanaian national football team without scoring; the latest game being in the qualifying stage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[10] He also represented his homeland in the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship in New Zealand, where he played 6 games and scored 3 goals, helping Ghana to third place.[11]

Style of play[edit]

Nicknamed "Dong Dada Diouf" a reference to Senegalese forward El Hadji Diouf due to similar style of play and his dyed hair.[citation needed]
