Former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko forward, Ollenu Ashitey, has completed a free transfer move to King Faisal Football Club in the Access Bank Division One League. This marks a new chapter in Ashitey’s career, as he joins the Kumasi-based club with the hope of helping them in their bid for promotion back to the top-flight of Ghanaian football.
Ashitey, known for his pace and creativity on the wings, enjoyed stints with two of Ghana’s biggest clubs, Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko. His time with both clubs showcased his talent, making him one of the most versatile attackers in the local league. Despite some challenges in maintaining consistency over the years, Ashitey’s potential has never been in doubt, and he remains a fan favorite for his electrifying performances on the pitch.
King Faisal, who were relegated to the Division One League last season, are looking to rebuild their squad with experienced players as they aim to bounce back to the Ghana Premier League. The addition of Ashitey is seen as a significant boost to their offensive line, as his experience and ability to create scoring opportunities will be crucial in the highly competitive Division One League.
The transfer comes at a time when Ashitey was a free agent, following his release from his previous club. His move to King Faisal has been met with optimism from the club’s supporters, who are hopeful that his presence will inspire the team to greater heights in the upcoming season.
Ashitey will be eager to make an impact in his new surroundings and prove that he still has much to offer in Ghanaian football.
