Posted by Accra Hearts of Oak have announced the signing of Cameroonian forward Junior Kaaba, defender Zakari Yakubu and goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi.
Junior Kaaba joins the Phobians on a 2-year deal from Cameroonian fold Fauve Azur Elite FC after successful negotiations and going through mandatory medicals.
“Junior Kaaba finally joins the Phobia family. He puts pen to paper after a successful medical. He signed a 2-year agreement with Accra Hearts of Oak and we are glad he will join the rest of the team as we prepare for the CAF competition and the GPL. The forward joined us from Fauvre FC,” said the club in a statement.
Kaaba who was a target for Sudanese giants Al Hilal Omdurman before signing for Hearts of Oak scored 11 goals and provided 5 assists in 20 games last season, in the process helping Fauvre FC avoid relegation.
