Austrian Bundesliga club, Wolfsberger AC have completed the signing of midfielder Augustine Boakye from Ghanaian Premier League side, WAFA.

The 20-year-old has penned a four-year deal with the club after successful negotiations.

"Shortly before the transfer deadline, the RZ Pellets WAC announced the commitment of Augustine Boakye from Ghana. The 20-year-old left-footer comes from the West African Football Academy (WAFA) and receives a contract in Lavanttal until 2025," the club wrote on their official website.

"It still worked! Augustine Boakye is moving from WAFA to the Wolves in Lavanttal, where he will sign a contract until 2025. The offensive all-rounder scored a total of 9 goals in 29 games for the WAFA last season. Augustine also shone with 11 assists, which earned him the title of best assists in the league. The 1.78-meter-tall Ghanaian can hold both the outer lanes and the central positions on the offensive and should make the attack by the wolves even more unpredictable."

Boakye was one of the standout players in the Ghana Premier League. He was only beaten to the Player of the Year award by Hearts of Oak's Ibrahim Salifu.

He made 29 appearances for WAFA, provided 11 assists, and won seven Man of the Match awards.
