Ghanaian midfielder Abigail Appiah trains with Hapoel Raanana ahead of potential move

Ghanaian midfielder Abigail Appiah has taken the next step in her professional football journey, beginning training with Israeli club Hapoel Raanana as she eyes a breakthrough into European football.

The former Jonina Ladies star, known for her dynamic midfield presence and playmaking ability, was spotted at the club’s training grounds earlier this week, where she has started preparations with the first team ahead of the new season.

Appiah, who rose through the ranks of Ghanaian women’s football with standout performances in the Women’s Premier League, brings a blend of technical skill, vision, and relentless energy to the middle of the park.

Her move marks a significant step in her career as she transitions from Ghana’s domestic scene to the international stage.

Hapoel Raanana, who have shown a clear ambition to bolster their squad with young talent, are believed to be monitoring Appiah closely during this initial training phase, with expectations high for a possible signing.

Sources within the club describe the midfielder as “an exciting talent with great potential,” and believe her experience in Ghana’s competitive league system will add valuable depth to their squad.

Appiah’s potential move to Israel reflects the growing presence and influence of Ghanaian female footballers abroad, many of whom continue to impress in leagues across Europe, Asia, and North America.

While an official contract has not yet been announced, her involvement in training signals a strong interest from Hapoel Raanana in securing her services ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Appiah looks to make her mark in Israeli football and continue her upward trajectory on the global stage.
