CD Feirense has officially announced the signing of Ghanaian forward Desmond Amoh Nketiah ahead of the 2025/2026 season, adding firepower to their squad as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
The 24-year-old striker joins from O Elvas CAD, where he impressed with 11 goals and 2 assists in 34 appearances last season. Standing at 1.82 meters with an athletic build, Nketiah brings versatility to Feirense’s attack, capable of playing as a center-forward or left-winger. His right-footed prowess, combined with his ability to use his left foot when needed, makes him a dynamic threat in the final third.
Nketiah’s journey through Portuguese football has been one of steady progression. Beginning his career in the youth ranks of UD Villafranquense, he has since honed his skills at clubs like SC Ideal (Azores) and OAF Academica before his standout spell at O Elvas CAD. His consistent performances in Liga 3 and lower divisions—averaging 0.32 goals per match last season—demonstrate his ability to deliver under pressure. With his contract at O Elvas set to expire this summer, Feirense acted swiftly to secure his services, signaling their ambition to strengthen their attacking options.
The Ghanaian striker’s work rate and durability are among his standout qualities. Last season, he averaged 83 minutes per game, showcasing his stamina and commitment to the team’s cause. His knack for rising to the occasion was evident in cup competitions, where he scored 3 goals in just 5 appearances. Feirense fans can expect a relentless competitor who thrives in high-pressure situations, qualities that will be invaluable as the club aims to climb the league table.
Nketiah’s arrival at CD Feirense marks an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club. With his prime years ahead of him, the Ghanaian has the potential to become a key figure in Feirense’s attack and attract attention from higher divisions. His signing reflects the club’s strategy of blending youthful talent with proven performers, and fans will be eager to see how he adapts to his new surroundings. As the 2025/2026 season approaches, all eyes will be on Nketiah to deliver the goals that could propel Feirense to success.
