In a significant move for Ghanaian football, Jerry Afriyie, the standout player from Thoughts FC, has officially signed with Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League. This transfer marks a new chapter in Afriyie’s burgeoning career, following an impressive run at the U20 WAFU tournament, where he emerged as the top goalscorer.
As part of the club’s development project and the terms of his contract, Afriyie will spend the next season in Europe, starting with a loan to CD Lugo in Spain. This strategic arrangement is designed to enhance his skills and exposure before he fully integrates into the Al Qadsiah squad.
The young forward has already made his mark on the international stage, having recently debuted for the Black Stars, during the AFCON qualifiers against Niger. His performance in that match, which included a goal, highlighted his potential and solidified his reputation as a rising star in Ghanaian football.
Ghanaians are eager to see how Afriyie’s journey unfolds in the Saudi Pro League and beyond, with many anticipating his growth as he navigates this pivotal period in his career. As he prepares for his upcoming season in Spain, the football community will be watching closely, hoping to witness the next steps of this promising talent.
