Asante Kotoko has completed the signing of outstanding defender Nana Bayin Amoah

According to Manhyia-based Opemsuo Radio in Kumasi, Nana Bayin Amoah, a talented left-back from the lower-tier team Venomous Vipers, has been successfully signed by Asante Kotoko.

Following the successful completion of his obligatory medical evaluation, this outstanding young athlete is said to have signed a contract that would keep him with the Kumasi-based squad until 2026.

Nana Bayin’s outstanding efforts were recognised when he was named the best player in the Central Regional Division Two Middle League. His exceptional performances were critical in taking Vipers back to the Access Bank Division One League.

Asante Kotoko’s signing of Nana Bayin Amoah is expected to give a substantial boost as they strengthen their roster for the upcoming 2023/24 league season.

Asante Kotoko has already began pre-season training for the 2023/24 league season at Beposo Park in the Ashanti Region, which will begin on Tuesday, August 8, 2023.

The Ghana Premier League returns to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, with Asante Kotoko meeting league returnees Hearts of Lions.
