Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko have confirmed defender Yahaha Dawuni as their first signing ahead of the new season.
Following the unveiling of new coach Prosper Narteh Ogum on Monday, the club officially revealed the recruitment of the former Susubiribi defender on Tuesday afternoon.
Following a positive medical examination and successful talks between Kotoko, Susubiribi, and Dawuni, the player has joined the former Ghana Premier League champions.
Dawuni proved to be a key player for the Division One side and has earned national call-ups for the Black Galaxies in the past.
“I feel so happy to be here. Kotoko is my dream club and I am honoured to be part of this great family, to be able to dorn the iconic red jersey and also play in front of the loyal supporters at the Baba Yara Stadium”, Dawuni told Asante Kotoko Communication Directorate.
Kotoko endured torrid times last season which saw the exit of coach Seydou Zerbo who was dismissed for unconvincing results.
The club however struggled to find their feet under interim boss Abdul Gazale who managed to lead the team to a fourth-place finish in the Gahna Premier League last season.
The team are embarking on a new direction and are expected to offload some players paving the way for others to join.
The Porcupine Warriors are expected to announce more signings before the season begins in September.
