The 25-year-old attacker of Ghanaian descent has sealed his move to the newly-promoted English sixth-tier campaigners, with his fresh term set to take him through to 2027 at the Memorial Ground
English-born Ghanaian forward Trae Cook-Appiah has joined newly-promoted National League South club Farnham Town Football Club on a one-year contract, the club have announced.
The forward is joining up with the lowly division club in a free agent deal following the expiration of his deal with league rivals Hemel Hempstead this summer.
ln an excerpt of a statement confirming the signing of the Ghana-prospect striker, the Town have said: ''Farnham Town are delighted to announce that we have completed the signing of striker Trae Cook-Appiah from National League South side Hemel Hempstead, who joins on a one-year contract until May 2027.
''The 25-year-old striker rose to prominence during an electric spell with Walton & Hersham in the Southern League Premier South, where he scored 10 goals in 28 appearances prompting National League side Wealdstone to sign him for an undisclosed fee in February 2024.''
Club's manager Paul Johnson has told his club's official website: ''Trae I believe is someone that’s going to really excite the fans next season with his athleticism and goalscoring,” manager Paul Johnson said. Having watched him at Walton and Slough, I’ve seen his goalscoring prowess and ability to make things happen.
“Obviously at Hemel, he was hampered for a long time by injury, but has come through that now and contributed to their Play-Off push in the second half of the season. He’s got a lot of exciting traits that we were looking for in our recruitment plans, and I can’t wait to start working with Trae next season.”
Chairman Harry Hugo adds: ''We’re really excited about getting the best version of Trae next season. He’s obviously had a really tough time over the last two years with his knee injury and then battling back from that, but he’s in a great place now.
“In the years prior, he shown he has explosive pace and real goalscoring prowess at this level. Now he just needs an opportunity to do that again and I’m excited that opportunity is coming here at Farnham.”
Given his Ghanaian heritage, the forward remains fit to play for the Ghana national football team at the international level.
