Recruitment analyst Jacob Blain also pointed to the club’s urgency in securing the deal amid interest from elsewhere:
”A versatile forward was something we were searching for going into the final push, and as soon as we knew about Ephraim’s availability, we had to move quickly to beat off stiff competition. Ephraim brings real pace to our forward line. We are delighted to get this over the line.”

The agreement remains subject to formal approval from the The Football Association, the English Football League, and the National League. Yeboah is set to don the number 25 shirt during his stay.
Born in Montirone, Italy, to Ghanaian parents, Yeboah relocated to Bristol at the age of eight. His multicultural background leaves him eligible to represent Ghana, Italy, or England at international level, an option that adds further intrigue to his developing career.
