Michael Sarpong: From Mamprobi to the world
Raised in Mamprobi, a suburb in Accra, Sarpong honed his skills on the dusty pitches in the capital, particularly at Indafa Park, where many Ghanaian football dreams begin.
His talent soon caught the eye of scouts, earning him a move to Liberty Professionals and later to Dreams FC. Under CK Akonnor’s guidance, he helped the team earn promotion to the Ghana Premier League in 2016.
His career took off when he joined Rayon Sports in Rwanda in 2018. There, he not only became the league’s top scorer but also won the MVP award, cementing his status as one of the most lethal forwards in East Africa.
Stints in Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and back home with Medeama followed, each shaping his football journey.
Michael Sarpong shares plans after proposal
Currently recovering from an injury, the striker is focused on getting back to full fitness and reigniting his career.
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, he opened up about his love life and his plans moving forward:
“I came here [the United States] on vacation and it was our one-year anniversary in October, and I’ve always wanted to do this on our anniversary so yeah, that’s why I did it here,” he explained his choice of location for the romantic proposal.
He added, “We’re so much in love, so we’re still trying to learn and grow in this process.
“Off the pitch, my career is still in progress. I’m currently nursing an injury, and once I’m fully recovered, I’ll be back on the pitch again.”
The 29-year-old may be sidelined for now, but his proposal proves that while football is his passion, love has scored the biggest goal in his life.
