Introduction

Enoch Ebo Andoh (born 1 January 1993), is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as a winger; he left League One side Port Vale in July 2016.

He began his career in his native Ghana with Accra Hearts of Oak SC and King Faisal Babes, before being signed up by Portuguese club FC Porto. He joined Cypriot side AEL Limassol in 2012, playing for the club in Cypriot Super Cup and Cypriot Cup final defeats before moving to England to play for Port Vale in November 2014. He broke into the first team in the 2015–16 season, but picked up a serious injury in October 2015, and chose to leave the club in July 2016.

Club career

Early career

Born in Kumasi, Andoh started his professional career with Accra Hearts of Oak SC, before transferring to League rival King Faisal Babes in 2008 where he made his first-team debut. Having impressed in the Ghana Premier League, he was soon linked with a move abroad, including Free State Stars in South Africa.

In January 2011, he was sold to Portuguese club FC Porto. He was a key member of the club's under-19 side during the 2011–12 season, scoring seven times as the team won the Northern Section of the Under-19 Portuguese Championship. In the finals stage, he scored as Porto defeated arch-rivals Benfica 3–0, while the side finished the competition fourth overall.

He signed with Cypriot First Division side AEL Limassol in 2012, and played in the Cypriot Super Cup final defeat to AC Omonia on 18 August. Head coach Jorge Costa led the club to a fifth-place finish in the 2012–13 season. Andoh was an unused substitute in the Cypriot Cup final defeat to Apollon Limassol at the Tsirion Stadium. New boss Ivaylo Petev took them to second place in the 2013–14 campaign.

Port Vale

He signed an eighteen-month contract with English League One side Port Vale on 25 November 2014, following a number of weeks training with the club. Having been overlooked for several months he enjoyed an impressive pre-season to force his way into the first team picture for the 2015–16 season.

He made his debut in the Football League on 8 August in a 0–0 draw with rivals Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road. He soon secured his place as the club's first-choice left-winger, and quickly became a popular player with supporters due to his positive attacking play. Club chairman Norman Smurthwaite stated that he expected to sell Andoh for around £2.5 million in the January transfer window, and the Sunday People reported that Tottenham Hotspur were tracking the player. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Peterborough United on 17 October. Three days later he suffered anterior cruciate damage in a collision with Colchester United goalkeeper Jamie Jones and was ruled out for the rest of the season. He left the club in July 2016 after failing to agree terms on a new contract. He returned to Vale Park to train with the youth team in December 2016. He played a reserve team game for the Vale, the first since his injury, on 8 March 2017.

International career

Andoh was named in the Ghana under-20 squad at the 2011 African Nations Championship in Sudan by head coach Orlando Wellington. He was called up to the under-23 side in April 2015.

Style of play

Andoh is a pacey winger who is able to take on defenders.
