Midfielder Richmond Lamptey has officially bid farewell to Asante Kotoko after securing a move to Rwandan club APR FC during the ongoing transfer window.
The 27-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Kigali-based team, with an expected monthly earning of over USD 5,000. He completed his medical examination on Friday.
Lamptey’s departure from Kotoko comes after the expiration of his three-year contract with the club. In an emotional message posted on social media, Lamptey expressed his gratitude to all those who supported him during his time at the club.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey over the past three seasons. A special thank you to our life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, for your unwavering support and guidance. To the management teams and technical staff, your dedication and hard work have been instrumental in our successes and growth. To my incredible teammates, thank you for your camaraderie and relentless spirit. Lastly, to our fabulous fans, your unconditional support has been our driving force. Thank you all for making these three seasons unforgettable. Asante Kotoko has become a home and will forever be a home for me. Kum Apem aa apem beba,” Lamptey wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
As Lamptey embarks on his new journey with APR FC, Asante Kotoko is actively searching for quality players to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
The club aims to bounce back after a disappointing performance last term, where Samartex emerged as the winners of the Ghana Premier League.
