Swedish side Dalkurd FC sign Ghanaian youngster Frank Arhin

Published on: 04 March 2019

Swedish side Dalkurd FC have completed the signing of Black Satellites striker Frank Arhin ahead of the resumption of the new season.

The Right to Dream graduate has joined the Uppsala based side Dalkurd FC in the Superettan.

Arhin had two years left off his contract with Östersunds FK but the club decided to loan the player with regards to much playing time to help the development of the youngster.

He made 12 appearances and scored once, providing an assist for Östersunds FK in the Allsvenskan.

The 20-year-old was part of Ghana’s U-20 team that failed to qualify to the Poland 2019 World Cup.

After graduating from Hartpury College in 2017, Arhin joined Östersunds FK on 9 August 2017 as part of the Right to Dream Academy's programme.

He made his competitive debut for the club against AFC Eskilstuna on 9 September in a 3-0 victory. On 14 October, he scored his first goal for the club against Örebro SK, while also registering an assist to earn a 2-1 win.

However, he saw first-team opportunities limited behind Saman Ghoddos, Alhaji Gero, Hosam Aiesh and Jamie Hopcutt in the attack, although he made cameos against Hertha BSC and Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League, in a historic maiden run for Östersunds FK that saw them reach the knockout stages of the Europa League at the first attempt, and shock Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium despite losing on aggregate.
