The Yellow and Blacks needed reinforcement following the departure of fellow Ghanaian, Nana Kwame Boakye, to Norwegian club SK Brann in the summer transfer window.

Sheriff Tiraspol announced: “Welcome, Riis. Another newcomer to FC Sheriff is Ghanaian defender Riis Twumasi Opoku. The 19-year-old player has signed an employment contract. Riis was born in Kumasi, Ghana’s second-largest city. He gained his first professional experience last season at Berekum Chelsea, from where he moved to two-time Ghanaian champions FC Aduana Stars,” wrote the club confirming his signing.

The young defender could make his debut against Petrocub on Sunday, September 14 as Sheriff look to consolidate their lead on top of the table with 26 points from 11 matches in this campaign.
