Asante Kotoko Sporting Club has formally welcomed its latest signing, young forward Dogo Yakubu, by assigning him the squad number 42.
The 21-year-old striker’s journey from the MidCity Football Academy to the Porcupine Warriors marks a significant career step.
The assignment of the number 42 jersey formalises his place in the squad as he begins training alongside new teammates. He recently signed a three-and-a-half-year contract, reflecting Kotoko’s strategy of investing in promising youth.
Known for his pace, intelligent movement, and sharp goal-scoring instincts, Yakubu is expected to add a new dimension to Kotoko’s attack for the second half of the season. Upon signing, he expressed a mature ambition, stating his readiness to work hard, learn, and seize his opportunity at the club.
Head coach Karim Zito has framed the acquisition as part of a long-term vision to provide a top-tier platform for young talents to develop into key players for the club.
While an official debut date is pending, fans eagerly await the chance to see their new number 42 in action as Kotoko pursues its objectives this season.
