Ghanaian forward Claudio Ofosu trains with Hartlepool United teammates for the first time

Ghanaian forward Claudio Ofosu training with his Hartlepool United teammates for the first time, having joined them on Tuesday.

The 21-year old was put through his paces alongside the rest of his teammates as they intensify preparations ahead of next season.

Ofosu penned a deal with the fifth tier outfit after a successful loan spell with BetVictor Southern League Premier Division side Royston Town last season.

He was one of the best players for Royston Town as he helped propel them to a second-place league finish.

He began his career with St Neots Town, making 24 appearances before joining Stevenage, progressing through the club’s youth system and enjoying loan spells at Biggleswade United, where he bagged three goals in six appearances, and then six appearances at Kings Langley before a loan spell at Mildenhall Town, all gaming valuable first-team experience.

After leaving The Lamex Stadium, Ofosu returned to St Neots Town, netting three times in 24 appearances.
