Ababio files for floating status

Accra, July 17, GNA - Kumasi Asante Kotoko's central defender, Kenneth Ababio tops the list of players scheduled to appear before the Player Status Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Thursday, July 19 on the declaration of their status.

Ababio, who joined the "Porcupine Warriors" two seasons ago from Ashantigold seems to have lost favour of the technical team of the current Onetouch Top Four Champions which led to him being transfer-listed at the latter stages of the soccer season. The rugged defender is the latest Kotoko player to storm the precincts of the legislative body, after speedster George Yamoah made a similar move about a month ago.

A statement issued and signed by the Deputy General Secretary in charge of Administration of the GFA, Emmanuel Gyimah copied to the GNA Sports.

It mentioned the other players to include Daniel Addo - Sekondi Hasaacas, Fatau Seidu Jnr and Gilbert Ayikade both of Real Tamale United (RTU), Abdul Razak - Kpando Heart of Lions and Emmanuel Bortey - Fetteh Feyenoord.

Others are Frank Owusu Beeboo - Blessing FC, Abrefa Gyan Christian - Topsymore, Eric Fiador - African United, Joseph Francis Dadzie - Venomous Vipers, Eric Tetteh - Samvito FC, Emmanuel Armah - Westlandes FC/ Parma FC, Akwasi Owusu - Astronomers FC, Hajj Sheriff Dini - Ebusua Dwarfs, Jonathan Asirifi - Heroes FC, Charles Darko - Akwatia Frankfurt Babies, Kwadwo Konadu - International Allies, James Kwakye Achaempong - Topsymore FC, Kwadwo Frimpong - Cita FC and Nurudeen Mukaila - Voradep FC.
