Former Asante Kotoko forward Kwame Opoku has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Reds after his stints at USM Alger in Algeria and Olympique Khouribga in the past three years.
His re-signing which has been confirmed by the Porcupines is however subject to medical and international transfer clearance.
The 27-year-old will now wear the “iconic” number 31 jersey, the club noted.
Kotoko is confident his addition will bolster their attacking group and contribute to the team’s ambitions in both domestic and continental competitions this season and beyond.
“Kwame is a player who has grown tremendously since his first spell here. His time in Algeria and Morocco has sharpened his skills and added to his experience,” Head Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum observes.
For his part, Kwame referred to his return to the club as a return home and is more than ready to contribute to the success.
