Ghanaian striker Jordan Mintah will soon play for Malaysia’s senior national team, with the Kuching City player in line for naturalisation.

Having spent five years in the country, the 29-year-old has met the requirements for naturalisation.

He moved to Malaysia in 2020 and joined Terengganu II before joining the senior squad. He later enjoyed a loan spell at KL City in 2022.

Currently, Malaysia’s squad includes naturalised players Romel Morales, Paulo Josue, and Darren Lok.

A source said, “Mintah could be the next player to be naturalised. He has met the five-year requirement and has no issues meeting the criteria. As a striker, his arrival would strengthen a squad undergoing a transformation.”

In the 2024/25 Malaysian Super League, Mintah has scored 11 goals in 18 appearances.
