A move Friday Ubong would have made for nothing

One of our own: Abraham Boakye joins the Ashanti Gold first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Abraham Boakye is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
