Asante Kotoko midfielder, Richmond Lamptey, is set to move to Rwanda after mutually parting ways with the Ghanaian club following a disappointing end to the 2023/24 season.
With just two months left on his contract, Lamptey will depart as a free agent.
Reports indicate that, Armée Patriotique Rwandaise FC (APR FC) has agreed to terms with the former Inter Allies midfielder.
Lamptey is expected to travel to Rwanda this week for a medical evaluation before finalizing his contract with APR FC.
Lamptey’s departure marks the 20th player to leave Asante Kotoko this off season, following the club’s decision to release 19 other players as part of a squad overhaul for the upcoming season.
Among the notable exits are Steven Mukwala, who is reportedly heading to Tanzania, as well as Danlad Ibrahim and Isaac Oppong, key figures from previous successful campaigns.
Richmond Lamptey joined Kotoko from Inter Allies in September 2021, contributing significantly to their Premier League triumph in his debut season.
He was also part of Black Stars’ squad that featured at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) held in Côte d’Ivoire.
