Over 126 games, he scored 30 goals and played a crucial role in winning the EFL Trophy. His impressive performances at Salford City caught the attention of West Bromwich Albion, leading to his transfer at the start of the 2022/23 season.
At West Brom, Thomas-Asante continued to excel as a striker. He was the team’s top goalscorer for two consecutive seasons, netting 9 goals in his first season and 12 in the next. In total, he made 78 appearances for the Championship side, proving himself as a reliable and skilled forward.
In addition to his club success, Thomas-Asante has also represented Ghana on the international stage. His versatility, goal-scoring ability, and experience make him a valuable addition to Coventry City as they look forward to the upcoming seasons.
