Ex-Ghana youth striker Ransford Osei has joined Kaza Shakhter Karagandy on a three-year deal, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.

Osei, 25, joins the European outfit as a free agent. The former Kotoko striker has finally secured a club after signing for the Kazakh top-flight side.

Osei's rather fine career has been blighted with injuries, leading to inactiveness for the past eight months.

The Ghanaian last featured for South African side Polokwane City where he was restricted to only three appearances. He featured for both Ghana's Under-17 and 20 teams respectively.
