Ex-Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom makes Hearts of Oak debut

Former Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom has made his debut for Hearts of Oak in their Premier League clash with rivals Asante Kotoko, replacing Gladson Awako.

The 32-year-old was introduced in the 63rd minute to replace midfielder Gladson Awako in a technical shuffle by coach Samuel Boadu.

Inkoom featured against his former club Asante Kotoko for the first time since making the switch to the Ghanaian capital.

The ex-Ghana defender enjoyed great time in Kumasi in the 2008-2009 season where he excelled with the Porcupine Warriors.

Inkoom left Ghana in 2009 after assisting Asante Kotoko to a league title win.

Inkoom returned to Ghana earlier this year after 13 years abroad in a bid to relaunch his career.

The right-back played for 11 clubs, including Swiss heavyweights Basel and FC Dnipro of Ukraine.

He was a member of Ghana’s squad that won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt in 2009 before becoming a regular for the Black Stars.

The right-back was a member of the Black Stars squads for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, which were held in South Africa and Brazil, respectively.
