Ghana forward Solomon Asante reveals why he joined American club Indy Eleven

Ghana forward Solomon Asante has lifted the lid on why he completed a move to American club Indy Eleven.

Asante is currently undergoing the immigration process necessary for his arrival in the United States, and while no exact timeline is available the club expects him to commence training in Indiana in approximately the next three weeks.

He joins the club after parting ways with Phoenix Rising FC at the end of the 2021 USL Championship football season.

“The USL Championship has always been a great place to play. For me, the challenge never ends and that’s why I chose this great club in Indy Eleven for a new challenge in my career,” the 31-year-old said.

“With Coach [Mark] Lowry’s remarkable experience, I believe together with my teammates that history will be made.

“I look forward to meeting the great fans in Indianapolis and especially gaining the support of the Brickyard Battalion.”

Asante spent four accomplished years with Phoenix Rising FC that included three All-USL Championship First Team nods from 2018-20 and back-to-back league MVP honours in 2019 and 2020, making him only the second player in league history to win the award twice alongside Kevin Molino.
