Stockport Sports have announced that they have clinched the signing of Togo international Donaldson Sackey.

23 year old striker Sackey has experience in a number of leagues around Europe and has chosen The Saxons as the next step on his career path. Sackey, who counts Emmanuel Adebayor among the players he has played alongside, outlined his extensive CV to Chris Culkin of The Saxons media team.

I was in the youth team academy at Hamburger SV and then joined Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga, where I played in their reserves. I had two seasons there before joining Borussia Berlin in 3 Bundesliga. Then I went to SD Compostela in Spain in the Spanish second division where I had one season and a half. Finally I had a time at FC Oss in Netherlands.

Peter Withe was a big factor to come to the club, as he is a manager with a lot of experience. He is great, a very good manager with good training methods.  We can go very far here, we have a good young squad with hungry players. The club is very good, it's a well organised club with a bright future. I had offers from other clubs but decided to sign here.

Of course I'm looking forward to helping the team and going as far as possible. The league will be a tough league, every game will be a final”.

Interest in Stockport Sports is growing throughout the world, following the publication of an article regarding the signing of Donaldson Sackey on the StarAfrica website.

StarAfrica is a website dedicated to providing African news and sport to readers all over the globe, and this week they chose to report on Donaldson's decision to join The Saxons.

The article explains how Donaldson signed for The Saxons, and how the Togo international had a trial last year at Tottenham Hotspur, the club of his countryman and friend Emmanuel Adebayor.

Sackey has now received international clearance to play and could be in The Saxons squad to face St Helens Town this weekend.
