Samuel Inkoom joins Hearts of Oak on one-year deal
Veteran Ghanaian defender Samuel Inkoom, has finalised his transfer to Accra Hearts of Oak.
The 32-year-old free agent has agreed a one-year contract after leaving Georgian club Torpedo Kutaisi in January this year.
Inkoom, who has been training with the Phobians, is said to have impressed the club’s technical team, leading to the decision to sign him for the rest of the season and could be part of Hearts of Oak’s squad ahead of the Super Clash against Kotoko on Sunday afternoon.
Inkoom had planned to return to Kotoko, but the move fell through after reports suggested that the player couldn’t reach an agreement with the CEO of the club.
Inkoom’s last spell in the Ghana Premier League was in 2009 after assisting Asante Kotoko to win the league title before departing to Europe.
The right-back has played for 11 clubs, including Swiss heavyweights Basel and FC Dnipro of Ukraine.
He was a member of Ghana’s squad that won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt in 2009 before becoming a regular for the Black Stars and was an integral member in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, which were held in South Africa and Brazil, respectively.
