Ghanaian defender Semeu Commey joins Portuguese second-tier side Leixões SC
2nd February 2026
Ghanaian defender Semeu Commey has completed a January move to Portuguese second-tier side Leixões SC, ending a frustrating spell at Estrela da Amadora in search of regular first-team football.
Commey struggled for opportunities this season, failing to make a competitive appearance for Estrela, and the move to Liga Portugal 2 is seen as a chance to revive his campaign and regain momentum.
The 23-year-old joins Leixões at a crucial stage of the season, with the club hoping his defensive qualities and physical presence will strengthen their squad for the remainder of the campaign.
Sources close to the player say the decision was driven by a desire to play consistently, with Commey keen to test himself week in, week out after months on the sidelines.
For many players, January transfers are about opportunity rather than status, and for Commey, this switch represents a fresh start, a chance to prove his worth in a competitive league and put his career firmly back on track.
