Ghanaian midfielder Pierre Dwomoh has been promoted to Genk first team, Ghanasoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
The 16-year-old is now a permanent member of the first team at Genk and will be part of the squad for 2020-21 campaign.
His promotion is a reward for excelling in the youth teams of the Belgian top-flight side.
Born in Belgium but of Ghanaian descent, Dwomoh joined the Smurfs as a 12-year-old from Anderlecht – and has grown through Genk’s youth ranks due to his versatility.
He was part of the Belgian outfit’s squad that featured in the 2019-20 Uefa Youth League – where they failed to qualify from Group E which comprises of Liverpool, Red Bull Salzburg, Genk and Napoli.
Dwomoh featured in four games but Kevin Van Dessel’s boys could not progress past the group phase having accrued eight points in six outings.
On the international scene, Dwomoh has represented Belgium at U15 and U17 levels. Aged 14 years and eight months, he made a scoring debut for Belgium U15 in their 2-2 draw versus the Netherlands on May 3 last year.
