After six years of dedicated service, Ghanaian defender Thomas Boakye has officially parted ways with Swedish club Halmstads BK. The club announced on Wednesday that they would not be renewing the 31-year-old’s contract, marking the conclusion of a chapter filled with notable contributions to the team.

Boakye’s final season at Halmstads was marred by injuries and illness, limiting him to just five appearances in the 2024 Allsvenskan campaign. Head coach Johan Lindholm acknowledged the defender’s invaluable impact over the years but emphasized that seeking regular playing time elsewhere would be the best step for Boakye’s career.

“Thomas has served HBK with dedication, but his recent challenges have made it difficult for him to compete at his usual level,” Lindholm shared with Hallandsposten. “To be fair to himself, it’s time for him to find new opportunities.”

Boakye joined Halmstads BK in 2018 from Varbergs Bois and became a cornerstone of the squad, amassing 168 competitive appearances. Before his time at HBK, he also featured for Östersunds FK, establishing himself as a prominent figure in Swedish football.

As of now, Transfermarkt values Boakye at €200,000. His next move remains uncertain, but fans and analysts alike are eager to see where the experienced defender will continue his career.
