English-born Ghanaian attacker Brandon Thomas-Asante will play in the English topflight for the first time in his career after helping his club Coventry City secure promotion to the Premier League.
The Sky Blues confirmed their place among England’s elite despite a goalless draw at the Coventry Building Arena against Sheffield Wednesday earlier this morning, with results elsewhere — particularly Middlesbrough’s defeat to Portsmouth — sealing their promotion in round 42 of the Championship.
The 27-year-old forward has been instrumental in the club’s success this season, contributing 12 goals and four assists in 28 appearances, playing a key role in their push for promotion.
Under the guidance of Frank Lampard, Coventry City have amassed 85 points from 42 matches, recording 25 wins, 10 draws and seven defeats in an impressive campaign.
For Thomas-Asante, the achievement marks a major milestone, as he now prepares to test himself at the highest level of English football after a standout season.
