Ghana Premier League side Asante Kotoko have announced that they have parted ways with attacker Joseph Amoako.
The Porcupine Warriors took the decision after the winger had a fight with a club supporter on Facebook a few months ago.
Having initially joined Kotoko on a three-year agreement from lower-tier team Young Red Bull FC at the commencement of the 2021/2022 season, Amoako’s promising journey took a detour.
He showcased his potential during a productive stint in the lower leagues before his elevation to Kotoko.
The young talent’s debut season commenced on a high note, contributing four assists within the first five matches. However, his progress with Kotoko was impeded later on.
Following a challenging phase abroad, Amoako returned to Ghana in March 2023 after his release from prison in Sweden.
His wrongful conviction for rape led to a months-long investigation, ultimately resulting in his acquittal and release to rejoin his club in Ghana.
In an official club statement on Tuesday, Asante Kotoko said, "Joseph Amoako has left the club by mutual consent. The Club thanks Joseph for his time with us and wishes him the very best for the future."
