Ghanaian footballer Thomas Boakye has taken on a fresh challenge after officially joining Icelandic second-tier club UMF Njardvik for the remainder of the season, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.
The 32-year-old arrives with vast experience from Swedish football, where he spent several seasons impressing with clubs like Ostersunds FK, Varbergs BoIS, and most recently Halmstads BK.
Boakye’s time in Sweden saw him accumulate over 250 appearances and score 24 goals, primarily operating as a full-back and occasionally stepping into midfield.
His tenure at Halmstads began in 2018 and ended at the close of last season when the club opted not to renew his contract. Since then, he has been a free agent – until now.
Njardvik, based in the Icelandic town of the same name, plays in the Lengjudeildin (Icelandic second division) and is hoping Boakye’s versatility and leadership can help them in the crucial final stretch of the campaign.
His arrival adds not only depth but also invaluable experience to the team’s defensive and midfield units.
Boakye is expected to arrive in Iceland on Monday July 28, 2025, and could feature soon in the club’s iconic green shirt.
This move represents not just a continuation of the Ghanaian’s football journey, but an exciting new chapter in a different footballing culture.
