🚨 LEAGUE RECORD TRANSFER FEE 🚨 We are thrilled to announce a league-record transfer as Kwasi Poku who joins Belgian side RWD Molenbeek in the Challenger Pro League! Kwasi's journey with Forge FC has been nothing short of remarkable. From signing his first professional contract with us at 18, to becoming a two-time CPL Champion, and now making his move to Europe, Kwasi's commitment to development and excellence has been an inspiration. His adaptability and goal-scoring prowess, especially after his switch to striker, have set him apart as one of Canada's most promising young talents. Kwasi made 71 appearances for Forge, scoring 13 goals and contributing four assists. His impact was felt not only on the pitch but also as a role model for aspiring Canadian soccer players. We thank Kwasi for his dedication and contributions to our club and wish him continued success at RWD Molenbeek. We can't wait to see where his career takes him next!
