Ghanaian attacking midfielder Bernard Mensah has joined Al Riyadh SC ahead of the new Saudi Pro League season.

The 29-year-old inked a deal to join the capital-based club after leaving relegated Al Tai at the end of the season.

Mensah enjoyed a successful first campaign in the Saudi Pro League and was one of the best players in the topflight, scoring 14 goals and delivering two assists in 30 matches.

"Hello I am Bernard Mensah, I am really happy to be here and a new challenge with Al Riyadh Club. We hoping for a better season this year. Keep supporting us," he said after sealing the deal.

The former Ghana international was one of the stars to arrive from Europe to the Saudi Pro League last summer, joining Al Tai from the Turkish Super Lig, where he played for Kayserispor, Besiktas and Kasimpasa.

The former Atletico Madrid midfielder is expected to play a key role at Al Riyadh after an outstanding first year in Saudi Arabia.
