Former Hearts of Oak defender Caleb Amankwah made headlines as he netted his debut goal for Ethiopian side Ethiopia Nigd Bank FC during their recent 4-2 league triumph over Fasil Kenema.

The victory not only marked a significant milestone for Amankwah but also propelled Nigd Bank FC back to winning form in the Ethiopian top flight, propelling them to second place, just one point adrift of the league leaders.
