Benjamin Asare Extends Hearts of Oak Stay With New Two-Year Deal
Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has signed a new two-year
contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2027. The experienced
shot-stopper, who is currently 32, has opted to continue his journey with the
Phobians following the expiration of his existing deal which was set to end in
2026. This development brings a wave of excitement to the club’s supporters and
management alike.
The club officially announced the extension through a statement, expressing
satisfaction at securing the services of one of Ghana’s top goalkeepers.
According to the statement, the board and management are thrilled that Asare
has renewed his contract, reinforcing their ambition of building a solid team
around experienced talents.
Benjamin Asare, who made headlines with his debut for the Black Stars, has
become a dependable figure in both domestic and international football. Despite
receiving interest from top North African clubs including Raja Casablanca and
CD Belouizdad, Asare chose to remain loyal to Hearts of Oak. This decision
demonstrates his commitment to the club and belief in its vision.
The goalkeeper’s form in the current Ghana Premier League season has been
exceptional. He has managed 13 clean sheets in 20 games, conceding just eight
goals—figures that reflect his dominance between the posts. His performances
have not only secured wins for Hearts of Oak but have also earned him the
position of first-choice goalkeeper for the national team, ahead of Lawrence
Ati Zigi and Jojo Wollacot.
Asare’s standout displays during Ghana’s World Cup qualifiers against Chad
and Madagascar, where he recorded back-to-back clean sheets, have further
cemented his place as a key player in the national setup. His composure,
shot-stopping ability, and leadership from the backline make him a vital asset
for both club and country.
The extension comes at a time when Hearts of Oak are pushing to maintain
their momentum in the Ghana Premier League. Asare’s continued presence offers
much-needed stability and confidence for the team’s backline as they aim for
silverware. His decision to stay is viewed as a major win for the club, and
supporters will be hoping his form continues to inspire the team in the matches
ahead.
