Former Medeama defender Vincent Atinga is on the verge of joining Ghana Premier League outfit Bibiani Goldstars.
The tough-tackling defender is currently without a club after ending his stay with the Yellow and Mauves following the expiration of his contract.
Upon the expiration of his contract with the Ghanaian champions, the former Hearts of Oak centre-back left the club having spent three years with the Tarkwa-based outfit.
According to media reports, Atinga is expected to sign for Goldstars as a free agent in the coming days as they seek to bolster their squad after sloppy start to the Ghana Premier League campaign.
It is said Atinga departed Medeama over the club unwillingness to offer him a long-term contract.
He is expected to solidify the defense of Goldstars, who are currently in the relegation drop after 12 games into the season.
The 29-year-old made a comeback to the Ghana Premier League in 2021 when he joined Medeama after stints abroad, where he played for Kuwaiti clubs Qadsia SC and Al Shabab as well as Albanian club KF Tirana.
The defender led Medeama SC to their historic first Ghana Premier League title during an excellent campaign. Atinga concluded the season as the eighth player with the most goals, and he was the highest scoring defender during the campaign with 11 goals.
In his 74 appearances for Medeama over the course of three seasons, Atinga amassed 21 goals in the Ghanaian top flight.
He received the prestigious 2022/23 Ghana Premier League Player of the Season award for his outstanding performance at the inaugural GFA Awards.
