Newly promoted Algerian Ligue 1 club USM Kenchela have secured the services of former Asante Kotoko SC forward Maxwell Baakoh, GHANAsoccernet.com can report
Baakoh is joining Kenchela for the 2022-23 football season with an option to extend. He joins on a free transfer after leaving Jordanian side Sahab Club.
The 26-year-old moved to Jordan in February 2022 after a short stint with Libyan top-flight club Al Madina where he was on loan from Egyptian Premier League side Ceramica Cleopatra.
The right-winger signed for Cleopatra in December 2020 after exiting Kotoko as he decided to renew his expired contract after a two-year spell.
Baakoh struggled with game time and that led to his lending to Al Madina in Libya in June 2021.
Kenchela only secured promotion to the Algerian top division last season and is determined to remain in the Ligue 1 at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Baakoh was a key member of the Wa All Stars team that won the Ghana Premier League in 2016.
