New Asante Kotoko midfielder Rashid Nortey says he is excited to have joined Asante Kotoko as its a club he has always wished to play for.

Ghana Premier League champions Kumasi Asante Kotoko have signed midfielder Rashid Nortey on a free transfer after he departed Medeama.

Rashid has penned two and a half-deal after running down his contract with Medeama SC.

The new Kotoko midfielder has spent the last six seasons with fellow Premier League side Medeama but has now ended his six-year association with the club.

Nortey joined the Mauve and Yellow in 2017, clocking over 100 appearances in an outstanding spell in Tarkwa.

“I’m very happy because Kotoko have been a club I have wished to play as a player for sometime” he told Original FM.

He joined for an initial three-year deal in 2017 and renewed his contract by a further three years in 2020.

The midfield dynamo is hugely reveled in Tarkwa and extremely popular with the club’s supporters.
