“We liked David’s enthusiasm and fresh outlook on how to play football. He is ambitious and wants to grow with us. We also like that he has a clear picture of what we want to build going forward.”
“We have one of the youngest teams in the Premier league and we feel he will provide these boys the best chance at maximising their potential.”
Ocloo has previously worked with Wa All Stars and Maranatha FC of Togo. He also enjoyed a playing career in Asia for several years.
Ocloo will be officially unveiled at a press briefing later in the week.
