Medeama SC, the reigning Ghana Premier League champions, have reportedly completed the signing of their former forward Benjamin Bature ahead of next season.
The 26-year-old striker has rejoined his former club, King Faisal, which suffered relegation in the 2022–23 season. Bature has signed a three-year deal with the Yellow Mauves, who will represent Ghana in the upcoming CAF Champions League campaign.
In the just-ended season, the Tarkwa-based side lacked firepower upfront, with Jonathan Sowah being the only potent attacker in the team. He scored 12 goals to propel the team to glory.
