Dunfermline Athletic unveil Ghanaian defender Nurudeen Abdulai

Dunfermline Athletic have officially unveiled Ghanaian defender Nurudeen Abdulai following his move from Medeama SC.

The 21-year-old centre-back has signed a three-year deal with the Pars, subject to visa approval and international clearance, and will wear the number 18 shirt.

Abdulai arrives at KDM Group East End Park with a strong pedigree, having made 75 appearances in the Ghana Premier League and featured seven times in the CAF Champions League during his time with Medeama.

Born in Takoradi, Abdulai has spent his entire career with Medeama, becoming a pillar in their defence. His impressive performances also earned him several call-ups to the Ghana national team, where he was named on the bench on three occasions.

Standing at 6ft 2in, the towering defender brings presence, composure, and an attacking edge.

Renowned for his aerial ability and threat from set-pieces, he played a crucial role in helping Medeama qualify for the CAF Champions League for the first time in the club’s history last season.

He has already linked up with his new teammates at East End Park as he gears up for the season.
