Dutch-Ghanaian left-back Prince Aning has officially completed a move to Dutch side Telstar, signing a contract that runs until the summer of 2028, with the club holding an option to extend the deal by a further year.
The 22-year-old earned the contract after an impressive trial spell, during which he convinced the club’s technical staff of his ability to strengthen the left side of the defence ahead of the new season.
Born in the Netherlands to Ghanaian parents, Aning has represented the Netherlands at youth level and boasts an impressive footballing background. He began his youth career with OSV Amsterdam before joining Ajax’s renowned academy in 2012, where he spent a decade honing his skills.
In 2022, the attacking full-back moved to Borussia Dortmund II, making 31 competitive appearances for the German club’s reserve side and gaining valuable experience in the German football system.
Telstar believe Aning’s arrival will add quality, competition and depth to their defensive unit as they prepare for the upcoming Eerste Divisie campaign. The decision to hand him a long-term contract underlines the club’s confidence in his potential and commitment to his continued development.
Known for his pace, technical quality and attacking instincts from left-back, Aning will be hoping to establish himself as a key figure at Telstar while continuing his progression at senior level. The move also presents another opportunity for the Dutch-Ghanaian defender to strengthen his credentials on the European stage.
