Ghana Premier League newbies FC Samartex have completed the signing of defender Ibrahim Larry Sumaila on a free transfer, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.
The 27-year-old right-back was released by Hearts of Oak on July 26, 2022 after a rollercoaster season after managing just three appearances in the Ghanaian top-flight.
Sumaila has signed a two-year contract with the Timber Boys on Friday after completing his medical examination.
Across two seasons at Hearts, Sumaila made 18 league matches for the Phobians, playing a part in the 2020-21 Ghana Premier League triumph.
He also won the FA Cup back-to-back with the Phobians in the process.
His experience will come to bare for Samartex who aim at finishing the 2022-23 season by maintaining their top-flight status.
Samartex begin their journey as Ghana Premier League debutantes in September with a visit to Real Tamale United.
