Canberra FC striker Kofi Danning hasn't given up on a return to the A-League and is trying to kickstart his comeback where it all began.

Ghana-born Danning immigrated to the ACT when he was seven and immediately joined Canberra FC before he was recruited to the AIS Centre of Excellence as a teenager.

Danning excelled at the academy and after graduating signed with Sydney FC where he made 23 appearances between 2009 and 2011.

The talisman joined Brisbane Roar the following season and then tested himself in Europe at Belgium club C.S. Vise, but after two injury-ravaged seasons he returned to the Roar in 2014.
