Asante Kotoko new signing Joseph Ablorh has likened his style of play to former Chelsea and Brazilian defender Thiago Silva.

The former Hafia FC centre-back penned a two-year deal to join the Porcupine Warriors ahead of the 2024/25 football campaign.

Ablorh, speaking to the club's media team, revealed his playing style inspiration: “My style is just like Thiago Silva. I’m aggressive on the field of play and also good in aerial duels. I possess the qualities of a good defender”

Ablorh is expected to be a key player for the Porcupine Warriors in the upcoming football season.

Previously, Ablorh distinguished himself at Hafia FC during the 2020/2021 season, earning recognition for his strong tackling and aerial prowess, which contributed to his inclusion in the Season's Best XI.

Asante Kotoko's decision to bolster their squad with players like Ablorh comes in response to the departure of more than 20 players at the conclusion of the season, aiming to fortify the team ahead of upcoming campaigns.
