Match Report | Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
23rd November 2024
Dundee United today announced that 19 year old midfielder Prince Buaben has been signed on a three year contract, following a successful trial period at the Club.
The young midfielder was previously on the books of Ajax, but did not have the necessary residential status to obtain the required work visa when a full time contract was offered. He returned to his native Ghana and due to his family's UK status obtained a valid visa, which led to a recommendation to Manager Craig Levein.
The player joined the club as a trialist at the start of pre season training and has impressed the Manager sufficiently to be awarded a full time contract.
Manager Craig Levein said, "Prince has impressed us all during his trial period at the Club and in the couple of the organised games he's taken part in. He's a young player and although talented, will need time to develop and adapt to the Scottish game. I see him more as one for the future but, as with Morgaro Gomis, have high hopes that he may break through into the first team earlier than expected.
Assuming all the paperwork goes through in time, he will be in the squad for Sunday's game against Raith Rovers at Starks Park."
