FC Samartex have extended the contract of centre-back James Sewornu, securing the experienced defender’s future with the Samreboi-based club until 2028.
The new agreement is a significant boost for the Timber Giants as they continue preparing for the 2026/27 season. Samartex moved to retain one of their most dependable defensive players, with Sewornu now committed to remaining at the club for the long term.
Sewornu has become an important figure since joining FC Samartex, establishing himself as a regular and reliable presence at the heart of the defence. His performances have also brought leadership and experience to the squad, qualities the club clearly wanted to preserve ahead of the new campaign.
The 27-year-old previously played for Hearts of Oak before making the move to Samartex. Since arriving in Samreboi, he has developed into a key member of the team and strengthened his standing within the squad through his consistency.
His contract extension ensures FC Samartex will retain a defender who has played an important role in their plans and gives the club greater stability as preparations for the upcoming season continue.
For Samartex, the decision to tie Sewornu down until 2028 represents a clear show of confidence in his ability and importance to the team. The club have acted early to secure one of their most experienced defenders, rather than allowing uncertainty over his future to extend into the preparations for 2026/27.
Sewornu’s continued presence will provide continuity in defence, while his experience is expected to remain valuable to a squad preparing for the demands of another campaign. FC Samartex’s decision also underlines the defender’s status within the team after his successful spell with the club.
Having previously featured for Hearts of Oak, Sewornu arrived at Samartex with top-level club experience and has since established himself as an important part of the Samreboi side. His new deal rewards that contribution and keeps him at the Timber Giants until 2028.
The agreement completes a key piece of the club’s planning ahead of the new season. With Sewornu’s future settled, FC Samartex can continue their preparations knowing that one of their most reliable centre-backs remains under contract for the next stage of the club’s plans.
