Hearts of Oak young goalkeeper Richard Baidoo has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The 19-year-old has been promoted to the first team from Auroras, having excelled for the young Phobians last year.

Baidoo's impressive season for Auroras was cut-short due to injury but his brilliant numbers, having kept six clean sheets in seven games, has been well noted by the technical team and management.

And the youngster was rewarded with a long term contract and promotion to the first team.

The former Red Bull Academy trainee has joined first team training and will be providing backup for No.1 Ben Mensah.
