In a significant move, former Asante Kotoko center-back Yahaya Dawuni has completed a free transfer to South African side Richard’s Bay Football Club. The talented young defender has inked a two-year deal, bringing his defensive prowess to the South African Premier Soccer League. Dawuni’s addition to the squad is anticipated to strengthen the team’s defense and provide stability at the back.
Yahaya Dawuni’s transfer follows his departure from Asante Kotoko, where he developed a reputation as a solid, dependable center-back with a knack for timely tackles and aerial dominance. Known for his quick adaptability and robust style of play, Dawuni quickly attracted attention from clubs beyond Ghana after his performances in the Ghana Premier League. His decision to sign with Richard’s Bay FC comes as the club seeks to reinforce its defensive lineup amid an increasingly competitive league.
The 22-year-old defender is expected to be registered officially in December, making him eligible to join the team for the second half of the season. His arrival is anticipated with excitement, as he brings both youth and experience to the squad. The move to South Africa is also a career milestone for Dawuni, marking his first professional experience outside of Ghana and offering him an opportunity to prove himself on a broader stage.
Fans of Richard’s Bay FC and Asante Kotoko alike are eager to see Dawuni in action, as he aims to make his mark in the PSL. The two-year contract reflects both the club’s belief in his abilities and Dawuni’s own commitment to developing his career in South Africa.
