Asante Kotoko have bolstered their squad with the acquisition of 29-year-old left-back Kwasi Asante on a one-and-a-half-year deal, following a successful medical.
The experienced defender, who has previously played for Hafia Club (Guinea), Simba FC (Tanzania), and Mbabane Swallows (Eswatini), brings versatility to the Porcupine Warriors.
Asante can operate as a left-back, centre-back, or left-winger, providing multiple options for the technical team.
Head coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum expressed satisfaction with the signing, stating: “We’ve been playing with just one recognized left-back in Patrick Asiedu since October last year, so it was crucial to strengthen that area. Kwasi brings quality, versatility, and experience, which will benefit us during key moments.”
Kwasi Asante described his move as a homecoming, saying: “Kotoko is a club I’ve admired for years because of its history and passion. I’m ready to give my all to meet the fans’ expectations. Competition for places only makes us better, and I’m here to contribute to the team’s success.”
The new addition is expected to provide much-needed depth as Kotoko targets success in the ongoing season.
