Indy Eleven coach Mark Lowry has lauded the signing of Ghana forward Solomon Asante on a free transfer.
Asante joined the club after parting ways with Phoenix Rising FC at the end of the 2021 USL Championship football season.
The 31-year-old is currently undergoing the immigration process necessary for his arrival in the United States, and while no exact timeline is available the club expects him to commence training in Indiana in approximately the next three weeks.
"To be able to add a player of Solomon Asante’s quality and caliber to our club shows the ambition we have,” said Indy Eleven Head Coach Mark Lowry.
“Building a winning team and a club that consistently competes for championships requires having strong characters and winning mentalities in the locker room, and Solo definitely checks those boxes for us.”
Asante spent four accomplished years with Phoenix Rising FC that included three All-USL Championship First Team nods from 2018-20 and back-to-back league MVP honours in 2019 and 2020, making him only the second player in league history to win the award twice alongside Kevin Molino.
