Ghana’s talented youth defender Clinton Antwi has joined Esbjerg FB of the Danish second division for the remainder of the season.
The 20-year-old left-back is on loan from Danish first division team Nordsjælland to first division club Esbjerg in search of regular playing time.
Antwi joined Nordsjælland from Ghana’s Right to Dream Academy almost three years ago and after a season in the U19 team, he established himself in the Super League squad.
However, this season there has not been much playing time for Antwi in Nordsjælland, so the player and the club management agreed that he will move to Esbjerg for further development.
“I need playing time in relation to my development and therefore I am happy with the opportunity I have now in Esbjerg,” Antwi said on Wednesday when he sealed the play.
“I am looking forward to the challenge and my clear ambition is to fight for a place in the team and do my part so that the club can return to the Super League. I think this is the right thing to do for me.”
Antwi has played 22 games for Nordsjaelland since moving from Ghana and the club’s sporting director Jan Laursen says they still believe in solid things for the left-back in the future.
“We still firmly believe in Clinton, but we agree that he needs more fighting time on the field to continue his development, reach his potential and come back even stronger,” Laursen said.
“He has good opportunities for that in Esbjerg, and we know he will be in good hands with our former coach Ólafur Kristjánsson.
“Clinton is an understanding young man with a big heart both on and off the field and at the same time he has a very high work ethic and always acts professionally in any context. We look forward to following you in Esbjerg. “
Antwi will return to Nordsjaelland at the end of the season.
