Medeama unveil 16 new players ahead of new season

Medeama unveiled their new squad ahead of the new season on Friday in a ceremony held at the club's secretariat in Tarkwa.

The Yellow and Mauves have gone on a recruiting spree ahead of the new campaign.

Coach Augustine Evans Adotey has promoted a number of players from the club's development structures, while also securing the services of a host of other Premier League stars.

"We are pleased with the players we have signed ahead of the new season, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the President Moses Armah and the rest of the management team for their continued support," said Adotey

"We have recruited a young and exciting bunch of players who are eager to make a name for themselves and contribute to the team’s objective.

"We also managed to retain some of the key players we had last season.

"We are aware of the challenges ahead, and the expectations from our fans and partners after what was an impressive season for us."

The 16 new players were joined by the 14 old players retained from the previous squad after the club released 18 other players at the end of last season.
