Asante Kotoko, one of Ghana's prominent football clubs, has confirmed the departure of their talented captain, Richard Boadu, as he makes a significant move to Libyan club Al Ahly SC.
The club announced the transfer agreement on Friday, marking a new chapter in Boadu's career.
The 25-year-old midfielder joined Asante Kotoko ahead of the 2021/22 season and proved instrumental in ending the club's eight-year trophy drought by leading them to victory in the Ghana Premier League.
His exceptional performance on the field earned him captaincy for the following season, where he continued to showcase his skills by playing 30 matches and scoring two goals in the Ghana Premier League.
Despite Boadu's contributions, the season didn't culminate as expected, with Asante Kotoko securing a fourth-place finish behind Medeama SC, Aduana Stars, and Bechem United.
The transfer to Al Ahly SC represents a significant milestone in Boadu's career, and Asante Kotoko expressed their gratitude for his commitment and professionalism during his tenure with the club.
They also extended their best wishes for his future endeavors.
With Boadu's departure, Asante Kotoko is gearing up to strengthen their squad with new signings ahead of the upcoming season.
The club recently formed an Interim Management Committee that includes former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah and Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum to oversee these developments.
The move to Al Ahly SC will undoubtedly present Boadu with new challenges and opportunities to shine on the international stage.
Football enthusiasts both in Ghana and Libya will be eager to witness how the talented midfielder adapts to his new environment and contributes to Al Ahly's success in the coming seasons.
