OFFICIAL: Danlad Ibrahim extends Asante Kotoko stay

Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim has signed a two-year contract which keeps him at the club until end of the 2023/24 season.

Danlad’s previous contract with the Porcupines was expected to run out in December this year but he has signed an extension until 2024.

Danlad joined the Porcupines as a teenager and has risen to become one of the best goalkeepers in Ghana.

The 19-year-old claimed the number spot of the club last term following the departure of Razak Abalora to Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol in January 2022 and helped the club to clinch the 2021/22 Premier League title.

After failing to make a move to Al Hilal, Danlad has signed the dotted lines on a two-year deal and will be an integral member of the team going into the new season which begins next month.

He kept 12 clean sheets and conceded just 12 goals in the process making the Ghanaian giants the best defensive side at the end of the season.

Danlad is the first choice goalkeeper for Black Galaxies that have booked their place in the final round of the CHAN 2022 qualifications.

The highly-rated teenager was named the best goalkeeper when Ghana won the Africa U20 Championship last year in Mauritania.

He was also a member of the Ghana team at the 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and the Ghana U17 team at the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup in 2017.
