Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has expressed confidence in the signing of Michael Sefah, stating that the defender’s arrival will boost the team’s chances of competing for trophies this season.
The 29-year-old joined the Porcupine Warriors from Division One side Port City FC on an 18-month deal during the transfer deadline. He was officially unveiled by the club on Wednesday and is expected to be available for selection in their upcoming game against Karela on Sunday.
“Michael is a fantastic addition to our team,” Ogum said. “His ability to play both as a center-back and in defensive midfield gives us great tactical flexibility. He completed our center-back options as we previously had only three senior ones in Ablorh, Samba, and Ansu. Michael’s arrival not only strengthens our defense but also provides leadership and stability, which will be crucial as we compete on multiple fronts.”
Sefah is one of five new additions made by Kotoko in the January transfer window, joining Kwasi Asante, Isaac Mintah, Sampson Eduku, and Kwame Opoku.
The Kumasi-based club is in a strong position to challenge for the league title, having finished the first round just one point behind leaders Bibiani GoldStars.
