Ghanaian youngster Philip Appiah has completed a move to Swedish second-tier side Umeå FC from Fadama-based Field Masters FC for an undisclosed fee ahead of the 2026 Swedish Ettan season.

The promising talent has signed a deal that will keep him at the club until 2028, marking a significant step in his young career as he makes the transition from Ghanaian grassroots football to the European stage.

‎Appiah’s move underlines the growing pathway for young Ghanaian players seeking opportunities abroad. Having developed his game at Field Masters FC, he now joins Umeå with the ambition of making an immediate impact as the club prepares for the new campaign.

The Swedish side, who compete in the country’s third tier, will be hoping the Ghanaian can add energy and quality to their squad as they aim to challenge in the 2026 season.

‎For Appiah, the transfer represents both a dream realised and a fresh challenge, adapting to a new country, culture and style of football. With a long-term contract secured, the youngster will be keen to justify the faith shown in him and continue his development in Scandinavian football.
