Transfer Update: ‘Ambitious’ Samartex sign Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Richard Baidoo

FC Samartex 1996 has struck a deal with Hearts of Oak for the transfer of goalkeeper Richard Baidoo.

The goalkeeper has seen limited appearances since earning promotion from Auroras to join the Hearts of Oak first team.

Baidoo spent a season on loan at Karela United where he was their regular goalkeeper.

Having impressed during his stint at the Nzema club, the shot-stopper returned to Hearts of Oak last season hoping to challenge for a starting spot.

However, he spent most of the season deputising for Richard Attah and Richmond Ayi.

His only appearance for Hearts of Oak was in the CAF Confederations Cup 2nd leg tie against JS Sauora where the Phobians lost 4-0.

While earlier reports suggested that Richard Baidoo had requested contract termination, reports reaching Footydreamsgh.com suggest that FC Samartex has agreed on a deal with Hearts of Oak for the goalkeeper’s signature.

The goalkeeper will join the newly promoted Ghana Premier League side on a two-year deal.
