Ebenezer Abban has completed a headline-grabbing transfer to DPMM FC, bringing an end to his influential spell with Heart of Lions FC.
The commanding centre-back, who also captains the Ghana Black Galaxies, now embarks on a fresh challenge in Southeast Asia, where he will link up with fellow Ghanaians Prosper Boakye and Ibrahim Sulley at the Brunei-backed outfit competing in the Malaysia Super League.
Abban’s move marks a deserved leap onto the international stage after seasons of consistency and leadership in the Ghana Premier League. Renowned for his composure, aerial dominance, and organizational presence at the back, he leaves Heart of Lions not just as a key player, but as a symbol of resilience and growth during his tenure.
In an emotional farewell message shared via the club’s official channels, Heart of Lions paid glowing tribute to their departing captain.
“Heart of Lions FC wishes to express its sincere appreciation to our captain, Ebenezer Abban, for his dedication, leadership, and outstanding service to the club. Your commitment to the badge and your contributions both on and off the pitch will always be remembered. As you begin a new chapter in your career, we wish you every success in the journey ahead. Thank you, Captain. Once a Lion, Always a Lion.”
The transfer signals both an exciting opportunity for Abban and a significant void for the Kpando-based side, who must now reorganize their defensive line without their leader. For the player, however, it is a step into a broader arena, with new expectations and the chance to further elevate his career beyond Ghana’s borders.
As he joins DPMM FC, all eyes will be on how quickly Abban adapts to his new environment and whether he can replicate the commanding performances that made him one of the most reliable defenders in the Ghanaian top flight.
