Ghanaian midfielder Richmond Lamptey has bid final farewell to Asante Kotoko after transferring to Rwandan side APR FC during the ongoing transfer window.

The 27-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Kigali-based team and is expected to earn over USD 5,000 per month, having successfully completed his medical examination on Friday.

Lamptey parted ways with Kotoko following the expiration of his contract after a three-year tenure.

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey over the past three seasons. A special thank you to our life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, for your unwavering support and guidance,"

"To the management teams and technical staff, your dedication and hard work have been instrumental in our successes and growth,"

"To my incredible teammates, thank you for your camaraderie and relentless spirit. Lastly, to our fabulous fans, your unconditional support has been our driving force. Thank you all for making these three seasons unforgettable,"

"Asante Kotoko has become a home and will forever remain a home for me. Kum Apem aa apem beba," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko is actively seeking quality players to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season after a disappointing performance last term, where Samartex was crowned winners of the Ghana Premier League.
