Ghanaian talent Eugene Amankwah has become a permanent member of the Aalborg BK (AaB) first team squad following an impressive preseason.
At just 19 years old, Amankwah has been rewarded for his strong performances by being promoted from the AaB Academy to the first team.
Amankwah, who joined the AaB Academy 11 months ago, has been part of a transition group of academy players training regularly with the first team. His versatility has been evident as he featured in both left and right defense during the preparation phase for the upcoming season. For Ghana, Amankwah has already earned five international caps.
James Gow, AaB’s sporting director, praised Amankwah’s development: “Both Amar and Eugene are developing well and during our preseason both players have taken their chance and shown they have the ability and mentality to compete at this level. Therefore, it is natural for them to take the next step now.”
Eugene Amankwah will don the number 35 jersey for AaB and is contracted until 2028. He joins a first team squad where nine of the 23 players have come through AaB’s youth system.
