The former Medeama SC left-back completed the move to the newcomers on a free transfer following his departure from Egyptian outfit Ghazl El Mahalla – a side he left at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

The 26-year-old featured in 22 matches across all competitions. Abdul Fatawu initially joined El Mahalla in July 2024 following a breathtaking spell with Medeama in their CAF Champions League campaign.

His brilliant performance earned him a debut senior national team call up where he enjoyed game time in Ghana’s 3-1 victory over Liberia in an international friendly at the Accra Sports Stadium.

He is expected to add valuable experience to the newly promoted side when the Algeria top flight kicks off later this month. He previously played for Vision FC and Accra Lions before joining Medeama SC.
