BURTON Albion, have signed Kwadwo Baah on a season-long loan from Watford FC.
The forward signed for the Hornets in May 2021, before spending last season on loan with Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga 2. His time there was hampered due to injury, making just seven appearances during his time in Germany.
Born in Germany to Ghanian parents, he was raised in South Norwood and signed for Crystal Palace’s academy.
After being released at aged 14, he signed a scholarship with Rochdale in September 2019, scoring three goals at the Crown Oil Arena before signing at Vicarage Road in 2021.
After joining the Brewers, Baah said: “I’m massively excited to get going. I’ve played in League One before with Rochdale and I know the ins and outs of the league. I can’t wait to get some appearances, minutes and goals under my belt.
“When I first came here and I first saw the lads they made me feel very welcome. Some of them are from the same areas as me which is a bonus.”
Manager Dino Maamria said: “He’s an exciting young player. He’s full of pace and is proven at League One level and hopefully he can boost our quality in the final third.
“He’s strong and will add to our front line, so we’re delighted to have him here and can’t wait for him to get going.”
Kwadwo will wear number 24 for the Brewers.
