Black Stars and Coventry City striker, Brandon Thomas-Asante, believes that collaborating with Coventry City assistant manager, George Boateng, can propel his career to new heights. He shared these thoughts in a post-game interview following his Coventry City debut, a 2-1 preseason loss to German side Werder Bremen.

After an impressive previous season, scoring 12 goals and providing two assists in 43 games, Thomas-Asante considered a move to Hull City before ultimately joining Coventry. Boateng, who had scouted Thomas-Asante during his tenure as Black Stars assistant coach, played a crucial role in the striker’s decision to join Coventry.

“Obviously, I was very familiar, and George [Boateng] would come down to watch me for West Bromwich Albion, doing some scouting work for Ghana during his time there, so he was familiar… so when I saw that he was a coach here, knowing that he had a fondness for my game, it made sense, and obviously, he comes with the credentials he’s got through his playing career and coaching career.”

“As well as working with the manager, definitely working with George is something that I feel can give me the edge to take me to the next level.”
