Karela United sign defender Frank Ackom from Nsuapon Fidelity

Karela United have officially announced the signing of defender Frank Ackom. The player joins the Ghana Premier League side from lower-division outfit Nsuapon Fidelity.

Ackom has signed a two-year contract with the Tamale-based club. He has been training with the squad for a period of time prior to the formal announcement made on Friday via social media. The club confirmed the deal through a post on X, welcoming the defender to the team.

The defender recently featured for Karela United during their Wednesday victory against Berekum Chelsea in the Sompa Invitational Cup. This appearance came before the official confirmation of his permanent move to the club.

This transfer is part of Karela United's ongoing efforts to improve their defensive line. The club has been active in the transfer market over recent weeks, negotiating various deals to prepare the squad for the upcoming 2026/27 football season. The acquisition of Ackom is a specific component of these efforts to strengthen the backline ahead of the new campaign.

By securing Ackom on a two-year deal, the club aims to provide stability to their defense. The move follows a period of intense activity in the transfer window as the team prepares for the start of the next Ghana Premier League season.
