We are thrilled to sign Solomon Asante – Indy Eleven President & CEO Greg Stremlaw

Indy Eleven President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Greg Stremlaw says the club is thrilled to sign Ghana forward Solomon Asante on a free transfer.

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

The 31-year-old 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.

“Solomon’s individual numbers speak for themselves, but it’s his ability to make his teammates better and raise the level of a squad that makes him a truly gifted player and one we sought highly,” said Indy Eleven President & CEO Greg Stremlaw.

“We are thrilled to have him be an important contributor to the winning culture we are building under Coach Lowry moving forward.”

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.
