Medeama have completed the signing of duo Samadu Abdulai and Junior Alipio Ranious on a four-year deal each from Ghanaian second-tier Wa Suntaa.

They are expected to add bite and competition in the Medeama set-up ahead of the new season.

The duo played an influential role for Wa Suntaa in the Ghana Division One League zone 1 last season.

”I am very happy to be here and ready for this mounting challenge. This is my first Premier League shot and I hope to make it count,” Samadu Abdulai said: 

Junior Alipio added: “This is a dream come true for me and I can’t wait to get started. I feel comfortable here already and will keep working hard in training.”

Meanwhile, the Tarkwa based side have beefed up their goalkeeping department with the capture of Ivorian goalkeeper Boris Junior Mandjui on a three-year deal.

Junior, 25, has joined the Ghanaian side after ending his contract at Ivorian outfit Association Sportive de L’indenie.

He becomes the second goalkeeper to sign for the two-time FA Cup champions following the capture of John Kwadwo Moosie from Techiman Eleven Wonders to increase competition in that department which also has Dacosta Owusu Junior.

They are to replace departing Eric Ofori Antwi and departed Frank Boateng.

Boris Junior last played for Burkina Faso side Salitas FC where he joined in July 2019 from Ivorian club Williamsville AC.

The goalkeeper has also had stints with Ivorian giants ASEC Mimosas and USFA Ouagadougou.

During his days at Williamsville and Salitas, Junior Mandjui played a total of 10 matches in the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup respectively.
