According to Times Sport, Rayon Sports and Azam FC reached an agreement on Monday, July 22, regarding the loan of the 28-year-old player.

Akaminko, a defensive midfielder, has not been included in Azam FC’s squad for the 2024/25 season, leading to his move to Rayon Sports, known as the Blues. The deal includes an option to make the transfer permanent in June 2025.

Akaminko brings a wealth of experience to Rayon Sports, having played for several Ghanaian clubs, including Tema Youth, Medeama SC, Heart of Lions, and Great Olympics.
