Asante Kotoko are delighted to announce the signing of Ghanaian winger Johnson Owusu Oppong on a two-year contract.

The skilful forward brings with him a wealth of experience from both domestic and European football. He notably played a key role during his time at Dreams FC, where he was instrumental in their historic run to the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Oppong also boasts considerable international experience, having spent four seasons with C.S. Marítimo in Portugal, followed by stints with FC Zlín in the Czech Republic and KF Kukësi in Albania.

He joins the squad as a pacey and dynamic winger, bolstering our attacking options as we prepare for a return to the CAF Confederation Cup, following a two-year absence from continental competition.
