Ernest Sowah, Adams, 2 former Starlets join Oly

Accra Great Olympics have signed former U-17 players Ibrahim Sulley and Emmanuel Gyamfi on a season-long deal from Rising Stars Academy.

The duo, a constant feature in the Ghana side that took part in the FIFA U-17 tournament in India three years ago impressed the handlers of the Wonder Club who have described the acquisition as key to their success this season.

Having had stints with some top European clubs such as Liverpool FC, Bayern Munich, Bragga and Slovan Bratislava among others, they are expected to help revive the fortunes of the ‘Dade Boys’ who are yet to pick a single point from three games. 

Head Coach of the club, Prince George Koffie sees the arrival of the duo as one that would brighten their chances in the on-going Ghana Premier League.
