Ghana defender Ewan Otoo says Dunfermline Athletic is the right place for him to continue his career.
The budding central defender spent last season on loan at Dunfermline and played a pivotal role in their Championship qualification.
Otoo had an option to sign fresh one year deal with his club Celtic as his contract was to expire in June 2024 but he decided to sign a three-year contract with Dunfermline.
“I did have an option but both parties came to the conclusion that the best thing was for us to part ways. I had my mind pretty much made up. I think this is the best place to continue my development. “ He stated after signing for Dunfermline
“My goal for the loan was to be in a position where Dunfermline wanted me back for the next season, so from that point of view I think it’s been a success. Then, from the way it went personally, I made my mind up that I wanted to come back. All in all, I would say I’m happy that’s the way it’s went. I feel like I ended last season quite strongly and hopefully I can hit the ground running, start really strongly and continue that through to this season.”
“I’m delighted to be here. The three-year deal shows the faith the gaffer and the club has in me. It shows that they’ve got a goal for me, they’ve got a vision for me. I’m really happy about that, it’s a real positive for me. So hopefully I can repay that with good performances on the pitch. It’s offered me an opportunity to develop and get even better and I want to help the team as much as I possibly can.”
He played 20 games for Dunfermline in the 2022/23 season scoring one goal and providing 1 assist.
