From prison to Black Stars: Kwame Bonsu set to earn debut Ghana call-up after superb display with Asante Kotoko

Ghanaians woke up to a sad story. Midfielder Kwame Bonsu has been sentenced to a two-year jail term by a court in Sweden for allegedly assaulting his partner in 2015. Then on the books of Swedish side Gefle IF, his contract was terminated.

However, after 11-months behind bars, Bonsu, 24, was released. A new beginning awaited the talented midfielder who left the shores of Ghana for pastures anew in 2013. His destination was Sweden. Heart of Lions, his then local side loaned him out to FC Rosengard. From Rosengard, he moved to Hällevik joining Mjällby AIF for the 2014/15 season. His exploits at the latter, earned him a lucrative deal to Gefle, where he spent two years before the unfortunate incident, which halted his once promising career.

Perhaps, it was the sign of good things to come for the youngster who became a household name, not for his achievements on the field of play, rather the “saddest moment of my life” story. 

After gaining his freedom, Bonsu returned to his native Ghana. He received an emotion-filled welcome in his city of birth, Kumasi, where his nickname ‘Conte’ rings easy bells. He was compared to the former Italy midfielder and coach Antonio Conte, during his days with youth side, Anokye Stars.

After a few torrid months of soul-searching, he finally decided to go back to active football. His mind made up on starting all over and working his way back to the top like he did a few years ago.

In October 2018, he signed a three-year deal with Kumasi giants, Asante Kotoko. Kumasi is a familiar territory for Bonsu, who hails from the ‘Garden City’ of West Africa.  

Fast forward 2019 and the player is the most talked about in the rank of Kotoko in their campaign in the Total CAF Confederation Cup. His performances have been eye-popping to the extent that pundits and followers-alike have tipped him to gate-crash the Ghana squad for the Total Africa Cup of Nation in Egypt next June.

His romance with Kotoko in the second-tier continental club championship has been fruitful. He has made the heart of the Porcupine Warriors’ midfield his bonafide.

On Thursday, news went widespread in the local media that Bonsu is set to earn his maiden Black Stars call up following his superlative display for the Porcupine Warriors in the 3-0 win over Nkana FC last weekend.

The African football powerhouse will be playing Kenya in the final Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium on March 23.
