Ghanaian midfielder Clifford Aboagye joins Mexican side Club Tijuana

Mexican side Club Tijuana has signed Ghanaian midfielder Clifford Aboagye on a free transfer, the club has announced.

The 25-year-old pocket-size midfielder joins the side after ending his loan contract at Querétaro.

Aboagye becomes the latest African import to join the Xolos in the transfer window as a free agent following his contract expiration at Atlas FC.

The former Inter Allies midfielder had been heavily linked with a move to Liga MX giants Santos Lagunawith Club Necaxa believed to be interested.

But Club Tijuana has stolen the march off the two teams by signing the talented former Granada midfielder on a permanent deal.

After being awarded the Bronze Ball at the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2013, Aboagye moved from Inter Allies FC to Italian side Udinese Calcio.

He later joined Spanish side Granada FC in the 2013/2014 season after spending only a season in Italy.

Aboagye was then loaned to Atlas FC after two seasons with Granada FC.

Having had an impressive spell in his first season, his move to Mexico was made permanent in the 2017/2018 campaign.
