“It is always a pleasure and a dream comes true for a player like me to wear the club’s (Kotoko) colours. It is a massive leap for my career and I promise to give it everything that I have got”, Imoro Ibrahim added.
“The team has a lot of good and experienced players who I will learn from. I want to help the club win trophies both here in Ghana and International and so I’m ready to work very hard to help anytime I am called upon to play”, he concluded.
He would have a tough competition from his replacement at the WAFU Patrick Yeboah at the left back after completing his dream move to Kotoko.
