Ghana Premier League champions Samartex 1996 have successfully secure the signing of highly-rated defender, Kofi Agbesimah in the ongoing transfer window.
The 27-year-old joins the Timber giants from fellow Ghana Premier League outfit Hearts of Oak.
Agbesimah penned a two-year contract with the Premier League champions, keeping him at the club until 2026.
The highly-rated defender expressed desire to leave Hearts of Oak following a challenging season that saw the club finished 14th in the Ghanaian top-flight.
His request has been granted by the Phobians and has therefore signed on the dotted lines to join Samartex ahead of the 2024/25 season.
"We are delighted to announce that experienced centre-back Kofi Agbesimah has joined us permanently on a two-year deal from Accra Hearts of Oak. His acquisition will ultimately invigorate the defence with unmatched experience and add a new dimension to the team," Samartex announced.
Agbesimah was one of Hearts of Oak’s most consistent players during a difficult campaign, making 30 league appearances. Despite his strong performances, he sought a new adventure and communicated his intentions to the club.
Samartex will compete in the upcoming CAF Champions League campaign and Agbesimah is expected to play a huge role for the club considering his worth of experience.
Agbesimah will hope to make his debut against Cameroonian side TP Elect Sport FC in the first preliminary round of the 2024/25 CAF Champions League.
