Ghana Premier league giants Asante Kotoko have parted ways with defender Samuel Frimpong.
The 23-year old right-back has terminated his contract with the Porcupines after being deemed surplus to requirements.
He has a year and half left on his contract after joining in 2018 under former coach Paa Kwesi Fabin.[ads2]
Frimpong started his career with Ghana Division One League side Bekwai Youth Football Academy before moving to Asante Kotoko in 2018.
He joined the Ghana Premier league record holders on a three-year deal in May, 2018 based on the directives of former coach Paa Kwesi Fabin.
He made his debut on 23 May 2018, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 victory over Elmina Sharks. He went on to make 2 league appearances before the league was cancelled due to the dissolution of the GFA in June 2018, as a result of the Anas Number 12 Expose.[ads3]
In 2019, he became a favourite of Kjetil Zachariassen preferred right midfielder or right winger rather his usual position as a right-back during his time as coach.
In August 2019, Zachariassen played him in both legs of the 2019–20 CAF Champions League match against Kano Pillars in that position, which Kotoko won on 4-3 aggregate.
Frimpong was sent out on loan to Karela United in January, 2020 for the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League, where he made his debut on 30 January 2020, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 victory against Legon Cities, with Diawisie Taylor scoring a brace in the match.[ads4]
He cemented his place as the main right-back for the club and one of the stand out performers as he featured in 9 league matches before the league was put on hold and later abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the end of his one-year loan deal with Karela United, Samuel Frimpong returned to Asante Kotoko and was named in the club’s squad list for the 2020–21 Ghana Premier League season.[ads5]
