Ghana striker Benard Tepketey has joined German Bundesliga 3 side Paderbon from Schalke 04 ahead of the upcoming campaign.

GHANASoccernet.com exclusively reported earlier this week that the 20-year-old is on the verge of joining the Blue and Black lads after failing to break into the Schalke 04.

The former UniStar Academy ace has completed a switch to the side by penning a three-year contract after passing his medical on Tuesday.

The Gelsenkirchen-based side included a buy-back clause in the Ghanaian's contract - which suggests that Coach Domenico Tedesco still holds faith in the youngster.

Tekpetey made two appearances for the Black Stars during the 2017 AFCON in Gabon.
