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 previous contract was set to expire in 2026, will now remain at the club until 2027.
The Hearts of Oak captain agreed to the deal after a meeting with the club’s hierarchy, with improved terms.
“The Board and Management of Accra Hearts of Oak are pleased to announce that Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has extended his contract with Ghana’s biggest club,” Hearts of Oak confirmed in a statement.
Asare had attracted interest from clubs in North Africa, with Raja Casablanca and CD Belouizdad reportedly making contact with his representatives.
However, the former Accra Great Olympics shot-stopper remains committed to the Accra-based club.
The 32-year-old made headlines last month following his brilliant debut for the Black Stars, keeping clean sheets in back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
Asare was confirmed as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper after those two matches, displacing 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.
