From Accra to Lithuania: A Defender’s Quest for Glory

Ghanaian left-back Samuel Abbey Ashie Quaye has taken a bold step in his career, signing with Lithuanian club FK Babrungas on a one-year deal with an option for an extension. This move marks his first venture into European football after a solid three-year spell with Great Olympics in the Ghana Premier League.

Known for his versatility, pace, and defensive solidity, Ashie Quaye is expected to play a crucial role in FK Babrungas’ ambitions as they seek to make a mark in the Lithuanian top flight. The club, impressed by his performances in Ghana, sees him as a key addition to their squad.

The 23-year-old has a rich international pedigree, having represented Ghana at various levels—including the U-20, U-23, Black Galaxies (local-based national team), and even earning a call-up to the Black Stars. His standout moment came in 2021, when he played a pivotal role in Ghana’s U-20 AFCON triumph.

Now, Ashie Quaye faces a new challenge in Europe, carrying the hopes of his growing career as he looks to make a lasting impact in Lithuania.
