The young goalkeeper's performance earns him a deal extension amidst team changes.
Topics covered
In a significant move for Ross County, goalkeeper Jordan Amissah has officially extended his contract with the club until the end of the current season. The 23-year-old, who was born in Germany and represents Ghana at the under-23 level, has made a notable impact since joining the team on a short-term deal.
Impressive performances lead to contract extension
Since his arrival in December, Amissah has made four appearances in the Premiership, showcasing his skills by keeping two clean sheets. His performance has been particularly crucial given the absence of the first-choice goalkeeper, Ross Laidlaw, who is sidelined with a knee injury until February.
Amissah’s ability to step up has not gone unnoticed, as he has effectively taken over the starting position from Jack Hamilton.
Manager’s confidence in Amissah
County manager Don Cowie expressed his satisfaction with Amissah’s contributions to the team. He stated, “We are delighted to have Jordan extend his deal. With Ross out for a period of time, we felt we needed to add competition to the goalkeeping area. Jordan has been a big part of the group and performed well in his time with us so far.” This endorsement from Cowie highlights the trust the management has in Amissah’s abilities as they navigate a challenging season.
Upcoming challenges for Ross County
Following a recent 1-0 victory against Kilmarnock, Ross County has climbed to ninth place in the league standings. The team is gearing up for a challenging match against the reigning champions, Celtic, this Saturday. With Amissah’s continued presence in goal, the Staggies will look to build on their recent success and secure valuable points in their quest for a stronger league position.
Recent transfers bolster the squad
In addition to Amissah’s contract extension, Ross County has been active in the transfer market. On Monday, they secured striker Kieran Phillips from Huddersfield Town and welcomed back former loanee Noahan Kenneh from Hibernian on a six-month loan deal. These additions aim to enhance the squad’s depth and competitiveness as they face the challenges ahead.
