Douglas Owusu: From Ghana to Glory – Teenage Sensation Powers Radnik Surdulica to Serbian Top Flight

In a season full of grit, growth, and golden moments, 19-year-old Ghanaian midfielder Douglas Owusu has written his name into FK Radnik Surdulica’s history books.

On a tense Sunday afternoon, Radnik secured promotion to the Serbian Super Liga with a narrow but decisive 2-1 win over OFK Vrsac. With one game still to spare, the club has officially booked its place back in Serbia’s top tier — and Owusu has been at the heart of the journey.

Making his 32nd league appearance of the season, the former Asekem FC starlet started the match and put in another tireless shift in midfield before being subbed off in the 62nd minute. His dynamic movement, sharp positioning, and relentless work rate helped Radnik control the rhythm in a high-stakes encounter.

Since arriving in Europe, Owusu has been nothing short of a revelation. Two goals and six assists only tell part of the story — it’s his consistency, flair, and tactical intelligence that have made him a standout performer in Serbia’s second tier. He’s earned multiple Team of the Week honors and the admiration of fans and pundits alike.

Now, as Radnik returns to the Super Liga, Owusu’s meteoric rise from Ghana’s lower divisions to European football’s spotlight is gaining momentum. With top-flight football on the horizon, he is poised to take his burgeoning career to even greater heights.
