Former Asante Kotoko forward Kwame Boateng has joined Karela United on a two-year deal according to several reports in the local media.

Kwame Boateng left Asante Kotoko in 2017 after failing to find form at the Baba Yara Stadium for the Porcupines. The well-built forward joined Medeama where he stayed for only 18 months before leaving.

Karela United are looking to pair Kwame Boateng with Diawisiw Taylor in the 2020 Ghana Premier League season.

Medeama SC announced on Friday that the club have parted ways with striker Kwame Boateng and wished him well in well in his future plans.

Kwame Boateng joined Medeama in January 2018 on a free transfer.

The club statement reads:

“The former Asante Kotoko striker was an integral member of the squad as the side finished top of the truncated 2018/19 Ghana Premier League.

“During his time at the club, he showed tremendous professionalism and impressive work ethics.

“We wish Kwame every success in his future career.”
