Ghanaian goalkeeper Joseph Anang has sealed a permanent move to Irish side, St Patrick's Athletic following the expiration of his contract with English Premier League side West Ham United. 

The Ghanaian-born England youth international penned a two-and-a-half-year contract to join the Irish outfit where he spent six months on loan at St Patrick's in 2022.


“It's very good to be back at the club. St Pat's is where I played most of my senior games (in my career so far), I feel I played my best football at Pat's during my loan in 2022, I really enjoyed my time here so I'm very excited," he told the club's official website.

"The move came about very naturally to be fair, I always kept in touch with Pat Jennings (GK coach) after I left, having chats back and fourth. So as soon he heard that I was available, he got back in touch, and we had a conversation with Ger O'Brien and my agents about what a move back here could mean for me," he added.

Anang was promoted to West Ham's first-team in 2020 following his exploits with the U-23 side in the Premier League 2, making 17 appearances and keeping eight clean-sheets in the process.
