He is expected to play a key role for the Libyans in the upcoming campaign after a successful time in the Ghana Premier League with the Porcupine Warriors and Medeama.
Boadu's departure from Kotoko marks the end of an impressive tenure, as he leaves with the record number of tackles and most duels won in the team. He contributed with two goals, five assists, and earned eight man-of-the-match awards in his last season with Asante Kotoko.
The club expressed gratitude for Boadu's significant contributions to their recent successes and praised his professionalism during his time with them. Asante Kotoko wished him the very best for his future endeavours.
The 28-year-old was part of the team that won Asante Kotoko the Premier League during the 2021/22 football season under Prosper Narteh Ogum as head coach.
