Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko have signed former Nania FC defender Daniel Adrian Adjetey until the end of the 2026 season. The 24-year-old versatile defender signed a one-and-a-half-year contract following the successful completion of his medical earlier on Monday in Kumasi.
The club's official statement reads: “Asante Kotoko is delighted to announce the signing of 24-year-old right-back Daniel Adrian Adjetey on a one and-a-half-year contract following the successful completion of his medical.”
Adjetey brings much experience both domestically and abroad having previously played for Naestved in Denmark’s Division 2 and BFC Daugavpils in the Latvian top flight. He began his career in Ghana with Nania FC where he honed his skills and established himself as a right-back known for his defensive solidity and attacking support.
Daniel Adrian Adjetey arrives as a direct replacement for injured Emmanuel Kotei. Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has praised the capture of the reliable defender.
“With Kotei’s unfortunate ACL injury, it was important that we reacted in the market,” Ogum told the club's official website in an interview.
“In Daniel, we are not just bringing in a player but someone who brings quality, experience, and competitiveness. He will not only strengthen our squad but also challenge Lord Amoah for that position, which is key for us moving forward. We’re confident he’ll make an impact both defensively and offensively,” Ogum concluded.
Adjetey, who underwent a month-long trial at Asante Kotoko before earning a contract, is expected to make his debut for the club in the matchday 18 fixture against Karela United at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
