Black Star Appiah signs for Cesena

Ghana midfielder Stephen Appiah has signed a one year deal with Cesena, the Serie A new-boys revealed.

The 29-year-old was part of the Ghana squad’s memorable World Cup run to the quarter-finals in South Africa.

He spent last season at Bologna but played only two games and has played only a handful of club matches over the last three seasons.

But the Black Stars captain, who nonetheless was used only as a substitute in South Africa, has a wealth of experience in Italy where he has also donned the jerseys of Juventus, Parma, Udinese and Brescia since arriving in the country in 2000.

Following two years with Juve from 2003-05, he spent three seasons with Fenerbahce in Turkey.
