PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur’s new striker Jordan Mintah made a debut to forget in the City Boys’ 2-0 loss to Selangor in the FA Cup second round last week.

But the Ghanaian believes the poor start will only spur him to improve fast and give more memorable displays with the Malaysia Cup champions.

The 26-year-old Mintah, who joined KL on loan from Terengganu during the second transfer window, had three good chances against the Red Giants but failed to finish.

He, however, believes the goals will come after he settles down further with the team.

“It was my first match after two months and five days with KL, so there’s still a long way to go,” he said.

“I hope to learn more from coach Bojan Hodak as I believe he can elevate my game. I’ve adapted well so far and my teammates have been very helpful.”

Last season, Mintah scored 16 goals for Terengganu II in the Premier League and in the Malaysia Cup, he scored five goals in eight games for Terengganu.

He also played six games in the Super League last season, scoring four goals. In the ongoing Premier League, Mintah has scored seven goals for Terengganu II.
