Ghanaian winger Quincy Owusu-Abeyie is eager to hit the ground running after signing for Portuguese side Boavista this week.

The 28-year-old has been without a club for close to a year after parting ways with Greek side Panathinaikos through mutual agreement.

“I am delighted to be here and anxious to get started,” Owusu-Abeyie told his club's official website. “I hope that Boavista is able to have a positive season.”

Boavista are yet to disclose the terms of the contract but Goal Ghana understands that it is a one-year deal subject to renewal if he impresses.

Owusu-Abeyie has played for Arsenal, Malaga, Spartak Moscow, Al Sadd and a host of other clubs.
