Ghana Premier League powerhouse, Asante Kotoko, has announced the signing of former Nania FC right-back Daniel Adrian Adjetey on a one-and-a-half-year deal. The move comes as a strategic effort to bolster their squad following an unfortunate injury to key player Emmanuel Kotei.

Adjetey, who brings extensive international experience to the Porcupine Warriors, has been signed to fill the void left by Kotei, who is sidelined due to an ACL injury. Head Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum expressed his confidence in the new signing, emphasizing the significance of Adjetey’s addition to the team.

“With Kotei’s unfortunate ACL injury, it was important that we reacted in the market,” Coach Ogum remarked after the agreement was finalized. “In Daniel, we are not just bringing in a player but someone who brings quality, experience, and competitiveness. He will not only strengthen our squad but also challenge Lord Amoah for that position, which is key for us moving forward. We’re confident he’ll make an impact both defensively and offensively.”

Adjetey’s track record speaks for itself. Having previously played for Naestved in Denmark’s Division 2 and BFC Daugavpils in the Latvian top flight, the versatile defender has honed his skills on the international stage. His ability to adapt and deliver consistent performances has earned him a reputation as a reliable and dynamic player.

The defender expressed his excitement about joining the Kumasi-based club, describing it as a significant moment in his career. “This is one of the biggest clubs in Africa, and I’m honoured to be part of it. I’ve had the privilege of playing abroad, but coming back to represent Kotoko feels special. I’m ready to give my all for this team and contribute to its success,” Adjetey said.

The addition of Adjetey marks Asante Kotoko’s third signing in the January transfer window. Earlier in the window, the club secured striker Isaac Mintah and forward Sampson Eduku, both of whom have already integrated into the Porcupine Warriors’ roster. The latest signing reflects the club’s commitment to strengthening its squad and competing at the highest level in domestic and international competitions.

With a mix of seasoned professionals and emerging talents, Asante Kotoko is poised to make a strong push for silverware this season. The club’s management and technical team remain optimistic about the impact of these new signings, as they aim to maintain their status as one of Africa’s most iconic football clubs.

As the second half of the season unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate seeing Adjetey and his teammates in action, bringing renewed energy and determination to the field.
