Medeama SC has received a major boost ahead of week 4 of the 2024-25 Ghana Premier League season, with former Asante Kotoko defender Yusif Mubarik officially joining their training sessions. Mubarik, a seasoned center-back, brings vast experience and defensive solidity to the reigning Ghana Premier League champions as they aim to retain their title.
The 27-year-old defender started his professional football career at Ashanti Gold SC (Ashgold), where he established himself as one of the top defenders in the local league. His performances earned him a move to the record Ghana Premier League champions, Asante Kotoko, where he spent several seasons showcasing his defensive prowess. Mubarik was instrumental in Kotoko’s successes, including their league title win.
However, after his contract expired with Asante Kotoko, Mubarik sought opportunities abroad and secured a move to Iraq. Despite spending time there, he has now returned to Ghana, ready to continue his footballing journey with Medeama SC.
Medeama SC’s decision to bring in Mubarik comes as no surprise, considering his track record in Ghanaian football. His ability to read the game, leadership at the back, and experience in top-level competitions make him a valuable addition to the club’s squad. His arrival also comes at a critical time, as Medeama SC looks to strengthen its squad depth and maintain its title defense in what has already proven to be a highly competitive league season.
With Mubarik now in full training with Medeama SC, fans of the club will be eager to see how he integrates into the team and helps solidify their defense. His return to the Ghana Premier League is sure to generate excitement, especially for Medeama SC, as they prepare for their week 4 encounter.
Mubarik’s signing represents Medeama SC’s ambition to not only compete at the local level but also on the continental stage, as they are set to participate in the CAF Champions League. His vast experience will likely prove crucial as the team navigates the challenges of both domestic and international competitions.
Medeama SC supporters will hope that Mubarik’s wealth of experience, combined with the team’s strong squad, will contribute to another successful season.
