Asante Kotoko have signed a short term deal with Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda as a free agent from Legon Cities, AshesGyamera.com can confirm.
The 36-year-old put pen to paper on Monday after agreeing a six-month deal to move from Accra to Kumasi and may extend his stay at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium depending on his performance.
AshesGyamera can confirm that Dauda was signed mainly as the third choice goalkeeper behind youngster Danlad Ibrahim and Kwame Baah in the pecking order of Prosper Ogum Narteh’s team.
Ogum and Kotoko chief executive officer Nana Yaw Amponsah explained the club’s new direction to Dauda and why he should not expect to start ahead of Danlad and Baah unless others and the former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper accepted the offer.
With Danlad expected to join the Black Satellites for national team assignments and also make the Black Stars squad at a point, Dauda’s arrival was deemed essential to provide cover for Kwame Baah as Kotoko hope to win the Premier League trophy this season.
Dauda comes on board with a lot of experience after his stints Ashanti Gold, Orlando Pirates, Choppa United, Enyimba and Legon Cities winning the Ghana Premier League title in 2016 with Ashanti Gold.
Kotoko currently lead the Premier League pack with 36 points, nine points better than Bechem United who sit in second place. They will host debutants Accra Lions at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Saturday.
