Former Ghana Premier League star Jamal Deen Haruna has completed a transfer to FC Sogndal IL in Norway’s first division, as confirmed by Sportblog247.com.

The 24-year-old defender has signed a three-year contract, making the move from Raufoss IL in the Norwegian second division. Haruna, who previously played for Great Olympics FC in Ghana, made 27 appearances during his debut season there.

After joining Raufoss last year, Haruna became an integral part of the team’s defense at Nammo Stadium, playing a total of 46 matches across various competitions. His performances included three encounters against Sogndal, where he made a notable impact in the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen.

Known for his strong defensive abilities and scoring two goals, Haruna adds a physical presence on the field. He will join his new teammates for the remainder of the Norwegian first division league, where Sogndal currently holds the 6th position with 23 points after 14 matches.

With just one game left in the first half of the season, Haruna is expected to bolster Sogndal’s defense. His football journey began with the Tudu Mighty Jets academy team in Ghana, followed by stints at Wa All Stars and Great Olympics, both top-tier clubs in Ghana.
