Former Asante Kotoko captain, Abdul Ganiyu Ismail has officially joined Iraqi Premier League side Al Talaba SC.

The 26-year-old has signed a one-year contract with an option of renewal with the Al Shaab Stadium outfit.

Al Talaba SC finished third position after the 2021/22 Iraqi Premier League.

The experienced centre back parted ways with Kotoko before the start of the 2022/23 Ghana football season with the reason yet to be made known.

He was a key man at the back for the Porcupine Warriors and helped the club to emerge as Champions of the Ghana Premier League.

Ganiyu commenced pre-season with the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League champions but he was surprisingly excluded from the traveling squad list for the second phase of the club's preseason exercise in Sudan.

Before the termination, the club announced its decision of stripping off the captaincy from Abdul Ganiyu Ismail.

Midfielder Richard Boadu was named the club's new skipper last week with Ibrahim Danlad, Christopher Nettey, and Moise Pouaty as his deputies.

Ganiyu Ismail joined Asante Kotoko in 2018 from Karela United for an undisclosed fee.
