Former Ghana defender Harrison Afful named Vice President of US club Stars FC

Former Ghana right-back Harrison Afful has joined the newly-formed soccer club Stars FC in the United States.

The veteran MLS defender has been appointed the Vice President and a member of the technical side of the youth football team.

"Harrison will be joining us as Club Vice President and also as a member of our coaching staff. Harrison brings many years of professional experience to the club. He has played in the MLS for eight years with both Charlotte FC and Columbus Crew," the club wrote on Instagram.

"He won the MLS Cup with the Columbus Crew in 2020 and was named Columbus Crew Defender of the Year in 2015. He was part of the Ghana National Team that placed third in the African Cup of Nations in 2008, 2010, and 2015. He captained Ghana in a friendly against Congo and created an assist that led to a draw in the 2014 World Cup against Germany.

"We are very excited to have Harrison as a part of the Stars family and look forward to seeing him spread his knowledge of the game in our area."

The ex-Asante Kotoko player seems to be preparing for life after football as his decision to end his career becomes imminent.
