Following his strong performances, the club has moved quickly to secure his services for two more years.

His commanding presence and shot-stopping ability were key factors in those 2026 World Cup qualifiers performances, and have since enhanced his value in both domestic and international football circles. For Hearts of Oak, tying him down to a longer-term contract is a strategic move that secures one of the best talents in the Ghana Premier League.

"I will urge my teammates to remain focused and give their all to continue to work for success for the team," he said.
