Karela United have snapped up exciting young talent Shakur Abubakar from Accra Lions ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
The pacey winger, known for his creativity and versatility, joins the Tamale-based club alongside fellow signing Issah Ibrahim.
Abubakar made a name for himself at Accra Lions with his ability to unlock defences and inject energy into games; traits Karela hope will spark a turnaround after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.
Raised in Accra, Shakur’s journey from dusty local pitches to the top flight is a testament to his resilience and skill. Karela fans are already buzzing on social media, eager to see him in action.
The move also underlines Karela’s commitment to youth, following recent signings like Malik Abubakar from Bechem United. With the new season around the corner, all eyes will be on Shakur to shine in his new colours.
