The shot-stopper has finally sealed a move to the United States of America side after passing the club’s mandatory medical check up
Former Asante Kotoko captain Felix Annan has signed a one-year contract with United States lower division side Maryland Bob Cats FC, the club has confirmed.
The 28-year-old left Kotoko last year following the mutual termination of his contract and has since been a free agent.
Although, Annan was linked with a comeback to Kotoko after Razak Abalora left the club to join Moldovan giants Sherif Tilarspol, he was been announced as the new addition to Bob Cats FC setup along two other players.
“We are excited to announce the signing of Felix Annan as our new goalkeeper,” a club statement read.
“Coming to MBFC by way of Ghana, Annan graduated from Feyenoord Academy (now renamed WAFA SC). He signed for Asante Kotoko Sporting Club in 2011 at age 16 and had been with them for the last 10 years.
“With Asante Kotoko, Annan was the captain for the team the last 3 years until leaving the club after last season cementing himself as a club legend. He has played for all levels of the National Team in Ghana except for the U-17 and was named to the final Senior National Team (the Black Stars) for the African Cup of Nations 2019 In Egypt.
“Annan was able to help bring a lot of trophies to Asante Kotoko, including multiple League Championships, FA Cups, and was named the 2019 Best Goalkeeper at the Ghana Football Awards, was a Best Home-based Player nominee in 2019 at the Ghana Football Awards, and was a Best Male Athlete nominee for the 2019 Ghana SWAG Football Awards, among many others,” the statement added.
Maryland Bobcats FC, formerly World Class Premier Elite (WCPE), are an American soccer team and academy based in Montgomery County, Maryland, which was founded in 2016. The club competes in the National Independent Soccer Association in the third division of U.S. Soccer.
