Harrogate sign Maidenhead defender Asare

Harrogate Town have signed defender Zico Asare from Maidenhead United for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old joined National League side Maidenhead in 2022, since making 88 appearances for the club in all competitions.

He is Harrogate’s second summer signing after winger Stephen Duke-McKenna.

“Zico is athletic, powerful and is hungry for an opportunity in the Football League – he has the profile we’re looking for in a full-back and he’ll add competition for places,” Harrogate’s head of player recruitment Lloyd Kerry told the .

“He’s explosive, can get away from his man and competes well so we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do.”

Harrogate have not disclosed the length of Asare’s contract.
