Released Kotoko striker Samuel Boateng joins lower-tier side Mid City FC

Former Asante Kotoko striker, Samuel Boateng, has officially completed his move to the lower-tier team Mid City FC.

The 25-year-old forward saw his contract with the Porcupines mutually terminated just a few days ago following an unsuccessful spell. Boateng had spent the latter half of the 2022/23 season on loan at FC Samartex 1996, where he struggled to make an impact.

The decision to loan him out was made after Boateng found it challenging to secure a spot in Asante Kotoko’s starting lineup during the first half of the 2022/23 season, featuring in only seven matches.

During his stint at FC Samartex, Boateng participated in 11 Premier League matches for the Timber Giants but failed to find the back of the net. Following the conclusion of the season, he returned to Kotoko.

However, the reappointment of Dr. Prosper Nartey Ogum ushered in a wave of departures as the club readied itself for the upcoming season. Boateng was among those affected by this overhaul and has now signed a one-year contract with the Division Two club.

It has reported that Boateng may not end up playing for Mid City FC, as there are also offers from foreign clubs on the table.
