Former Ghana under-17 striker Emmanuel Banahene has joined Iraqi club Al Mina’a from Turkish side Şanlıurfaspor on a one year deal.
The former Hearts of Lions player moved in the summer but he is yet to join the club, as he finalizes formalities.
Emmanuel Banahene left Şanlıurfaspor following the club's inability to gain promotion to the Turkish Super Lig.
Having played for Al Orouba, Orduspor and Ismailly previously, the 29 year old has rich experience in the gulf region and he is expected to help the Iraqi giants excel in the League.
Al Mina’a is one of the most popular clubs in Iraq, particularly in the south, and were the first club from outside Baghdad to win the Iraqi Premier League.
Banahene played for Stay Cool Professionals and Inter Allies United in Ghana before moving to Israel to play for Hapoel Petah Tikva.
