Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has extended his stay at Accra Hearts of Oak after signing a two-year deal with the Ghanaian giants.
The shot-stopper, whose current deal was expected to end in 2026, will now be at the club until 2027.
The Hearts of Oak captain agreed to sign the deal after a meeting with the club’s hierarchy, with improved conditions of service.
“The Board and Management of Accra Hearts of Oak are happy to announce that Black stars goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare has extended his contract with Ghana’s biggest Club,” wrote Hearts of Oak, confirming the deal.
Asare was beginning t0 attract interest from clubs in North Africa, with Raja Casablanca and CD Belouizdad reportedly making contacts with his representatives.
However, the former Accra Great Olympics shot-stopper remains committed to the Accra-based club.
The 32-year-old hogged the headlines last month following his brilliant debut display for the Black Stars, keeping clean sheets in back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
Asare was confirmed the team’s first choice goalkeeper after the two matches, dethroning regular invitees Lawrence Ati Zigi and Jojo Wollacot.
In the Ghana Premier League, Asare has kept 13 clean sheets in 20 matches, conceding only eight goals.
