Karela United sign defender Edmund Afurapoe from Eleven Wonders

Karela United have completed the signing of centre-back Edmund Afurapoe. The Ghana Premier League club confirmed the arrival of the defender on Friday, August 14.

Afurapoe joins the club from Eleven Wonders, a side competing in the lower tiers of Ghanaian football. The recruitment of the experienced defender is intended to strengthen the squad in preparation for the 2026/27 football season.

The club described the new signing as a tough player who will provide leadership and help the team maintain clean sheets. His addition is part of the club's efforts to bolster their defensive options ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Karela United finished the previous season in ninth position on the Ghana Premier League table. The club aims to improve upon that ninth-place finish during the next season.

The arrival of Afurapoe marks a key piece of business for the club as they build their roster for the new year. By bringing in a player from the lower divisions, the club is looking to add depth and experience to their defensive line.

This move comes as the team prepares for the challenges of the upcoming football season. The club's management has indicated that the signing is a strategic step toward achieving better results in the Ghana Premier League than they achieved in their previous ninth-place campaign.
