West Bromwich Albion forward, Brandon Thomas-Asante has shared his experience with the Ghana national team, the Black Stars.

The England-born player made his debut for Ghana during the World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic in June 2024 at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Thomas-Asante came on as a substitute for Mohammed Kudus late in the game, contributing to Ghana’s thrilling 4-3 victory over CAR.

Despite being included in the provisional squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, Thomas-Asante did not make the final roster for the tournament in Ivory Coast.

Reflecting on his time with the team, Thomas-Asante expressed joy about the back-to-back wins in the qualifiers in June.

“I’m feeling good and it was a really good summer. It was really exciting to go away with the national team for the very first time. It’s something I’ve wanted to do forever, to represent Ghana, since I was a child,” he told the club’s website.

“To be able to play with different players and get a different outlook on things was refreshing. I really enjoyed being with Ghana in the summer, which was really good. I came back from international duty and had a breather, but then got back to work here pretty quickly. I couldn’t stay away for too long; I wanted to come back sooner than what my report date was,” he added.

The promising attacker hopes to return to the Black Stars squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium in September later this year.
