Newly-signed Asante Kotoko defender, Ndongani Samba Gilbani has spoken out for the first time since joining the club on Thursday afternoon.
The Congolese center-back expressed his excitement to be joining the team, citing the club's stature as a major factor in his decision.
"I am thrilled to be here because Kotoko is a big club. When my manager informed me of Kotoko's interest, I immediately instructed him to halt any discussions with other clubs so I could focus on coming here," Samba said in an interview with the club.
The 28-year-old defender joins the team on a two-year deal, making him the fourth signing for the club ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Samba's addition follows the arrivals of Sudanese duo Esmat Abdulhamid and AbdoelKarem AbdoelRahman Yoouef Yagoub, as well as Great Olympics' Emmanuel Antwi.
Asante Kotoko's latest signing was unveiled earlier this week and has already got off to a good start, with AbdoelKarem AbdoelRahman Yoouef netting in a friendly win over Dabo Soccer Academy at the Adako Jachie training grounds.
With the team set to face Accra Hearts of Oak in the inaugural Democracy Cup next Wednesday at the Accra Sports Stadium, Samba is eager to make a positive impact and contribute to the team's success.
