The 32-year-old who completed the transfer as a free agent agreed a one-year contract after leaving Georgian club Torpedo Kutaisi in January of this year.
Inkoom, who has been training with the Phobians, is said to have impressed the club’s technical team, leading to the decision to sign him for the rest of the season.
He could be part of Hearts of Oak’s squad for Super Clash against Kotoko on Sunday.
Inkoom stated his intention of a return to his former club Kumasi Asante Kotoko, but the move failed, and he blamed Chief Executive Nana Yaw Amponsah.
“Don’t blame me for my proposed Hearts move, Kotoko CEO feels big to call me. So Kotoko fans should blame their CEO and not me,” Inkoom is reported to have told Onua Sports in March.
The right-back left Ghana in 2009, after winning the league title with Kotoko played.
During his 13-years stay abroad, he featured for 11 clubs, including Swiss heavyweights Basel and FC Dnipro of Ukraine.
He was a member of Ghana’s squad that won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt in 2009 before becoming a regular for the Black Stars.
The right-back was a member of the Black Stars squads for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, which were held in South Africa and Brazil, respectively.
