Asante Kotoko has announced the signing of defensive midfielder Prince Badu
Asante Kotoko has announced the signing of defensive midfielder Prince Badu on a three-year contract following the successful completion of his medical.
The midfielder joins us from Nations FC, where he has been a consistent presence over the last two-and-a-half seasons, making close to half a century of league appearances. Known for his discipline, positional awareness, and ability to break up play, Badu adds much-needed depth and balance to Kotoko’s midfield.
Head Coach Abdul Karim Zito explained the thinking behind the signing, saying: “We felt it was very important to strengthen the defensive midfield area. At the moment, we have only one natural defensive midfielder, and we also have to carefully manage the minutes of Lawson Manu, who is still a young player. Prince gives us the balance we need. He understands the league, he’s tactically disciplined, and he will help us maintain intensity and stability in midfield over the remainder of the season and the next few years”
Speaking about his move, Prince Badu said: “Joining Kotoko is a big moment for me. This the biggest club in the country, and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I know the expectations are high here, but that’s what motivates me as a player. I’m ready to work hard, learn, and give my best whenever I’m called upon. I want to help the team in any way I can and grow with the club over the next few years.”
Prince Badu will wear the number 44 jersey as he begins his journey with the Porcupine Warriors.
