SD Ponferradina have confirmed the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Eugene Frimpong on a one-year contract running until June 2026, following his departure from Zamora CF.
The 21-year-old joins on a free transfer and will occupy an under-23 slot in the squad.
Born in Kumasi in 2003, Frimpong began his professional development in Spain with Real Valladolid. He joined the club’s Juvenil A team in 2021 and quickly rose through the ranks.
In the 2022/23 season, he broke into Real Valladolid Promesas, the club’s reserve side, making his senior debut in Spain’s Segunda Federación.
He continued to feature prominently in the following campaign and was rewarded with a call-up to the first team, making his debut in a Copa del Rey fixture.
During the 2023/24 season, Frimpong remained with Valladolid Promesas until the January transfer window, when he joined Zamora CF. At Zamora, he gained valuable minutes in the Primera Federación, making 10 league appearances in his debut half-season at that level.
Frimpong now links up with Ponferradina under the guidance of head coach Fernando, who is overseeing a squad rebuild for the new campaign.
The midfielder is expected to bring youthful energy and technical quality to the club’s engine room.
