Over the years, Ghanaian footballers who have sojourned in Europe have carved a niche for themselves through their splendid performances.

The latest to join the bandwagon is US-based Ryan Asare Bediako who hails from Ghana.

He again continued his excellent performance in the 2010 season as he played in all 18 matches of the season having seven starts as a junior and scored five goals and assisted one.

This performance earned him the A- Sun CSN recognition as his goals against ETSU and USC Upstate are said to be memorable.

During his hey days at Stetson University, he scored the team's lone goal in a 1-1 tie with Alabama A&M.

Not perturbed by the challenges that came his way, young Bediako has moved on and has become a force to reckon with in the US.
