The UEFA Champions League winner who signed a one-year deal with the Ghana Premier League champions on Tuesday, February 1 will be returning to competitive football since he left lower-tier side Albacete Balompié.
Speaking to the club's media, Sulley reiterated that his son has always wanted to watch him play at the stadium and he feels that he still has what it takes to play.
“My son really pushed me to play because he said he wants to see me play again,” he said.
“What made it easy too was the fact that any time I visited Ghana I always trained with the team and I felt at home already so choosing Hearts was very easy.
The ambition in Hearts is what I like because it is obvious, they are ambitious,” he added.
