Ghanaian forward Joe Dodoo signs two-year deal with Doncaster Rovers

Ghanaian forward Joe Dodoo will feature for English League Two side Doncaster Rovers after completing a move from Wigan Athletic to the club.

The 26-year-old penned a two-year deal to link up with his former coach Richie Wellens

“Rovers have completed the signing of experienced striker Joe Dodoo on a two-year deal,” the club confirmed on their official website.

“The 26-year-old arrives having made more than 100 appearances in the English game.

“Dodoo started his career with Leicester City, where he worked with current Rovers boss Richie Wellens at the King Power Stadium.

“He left the Foxes to join Scottish giants Rangers in 2016, and went on to make 24 appearances during his time at Ibrox, and also spent periods on loan at Charlton Athletic and Blackpool respectively.”

“The 6ft front-man has spent the past two seasons in Sky Bet League One with Bolton Wanderers and Wigan, and scored for both clubs against Rovers in each of his outings at the Keepmoat Stadium.

“He scored four goals and assisted a further three in 12 starts for the Latics last season.”

Dodoo is eligible to represent England or Ghana internationally. In March 2013, Dodoo was called up to the England U18 team and played in a match against Belgium.

On May 20, 2016, he was called up to the Ghana squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritius, but since he required Fifa to approve his change of nationality, he was unable to play, but trained with the squad.
