Ghanaian striker Raphael Dwamena on Friday signed a two year contract with lower tier Austrian side BW Linz on a two year deal with an option for a further year.

This is after the striker was ruled out of playing football indefinitely following troublesome persistent heart conditions.

Ghanaian striker Raphael Dwamena was ruled out of football indefinitely by his Danish club Velje BK after a heart scare in October 2020.

The 25 year old Ghanaian striker’s career has been bedevilled by a heart trouble that has caused him so much.

In 2018, a deal to English Premier League side Brighton fell through after the English side detected the heart condition during medical examinations.

Whiles on loan last year at Real Zaragoza in the lower tier Spanish league,the heart trouble flared up and had to stop playing for some months before undergoing an operation.

The  Ghanaian striker later signed for Danish club Velje BK and they announced a recurrence of Dwamena’s troubling heart issues and therefore decided not to play him indefinitely.

After signing for BW Linz on Friday 25th June,2021, the striker says that his football is far from over as he still has a lot to offer and feels very fit and wants to achieve great things with his new club.

“I am so happy that Blau-Weiß Linz gives me the chance and I will be eternally grateful. I would like to repay that with performance on the pitch. My athletic path is far from over. I feel very fit and want to achieve great things with blue and white in the next 2-3 years"
