Atinga, a former Hearts of Oak centre-back, played a pivotal role in guiding Bibiani GoldStars to their first-ever Ghana Premier League title.

Prior to joining GoldStars, he also secured the league title with Medeama SC, making him the first player to win the Premier League with two different clubs in recent seasons.

Impressed by his consistent performances, Adu believes Atinga deserves recognition at the national level.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, he said, “In my opinion, Vincent Atinga deserves a Black Stars call-up. He has won with the national team. He has won with Medeama, and he has done it with GoldStars.

“Not every player can do this, so I believe he must be given the chance and opportunity with the Black Stars,” he added.

Bibiani GoldStars will represent Ghana in the 2025/26 CAF Champions League following their historic league triumph.

The commanding centre-back has now clinched his second league title in just three years, achieving the feat with two different clubs.

Atinga first lifted the trophy with Medeama SC three seasons ago before switching to GoldStars ahead of the just-ended campaign.

His influence in Coach Frimpong Manso’s setup proved vital as the team surged to their maiden league triumph.

Following GoldStars’ emphatic 4-0 victory over Accra Lions on Sunday, Atinga was beaming with pride.

“If you want to win the league in Ghana, you should sign me,” Atinga said after the match.

“I don’t have words to describe my feelings. I am too excited because I took Medeama to win the league and I also did it with GoldStars,” he added.

The former Hearts of Oak defender admitted the journey was far from easy, reflecting on the season’s challenges.

“It was very, very difficult. You know, there are ups and downs. There were games we were supposed to win and we ended up losing, so it was difficult,” he said.

With their league triumph, GoldStars will represent Ghana in next season’s CAF Champions League, marking another milestone in both the club’s and Atinga’s growing legacy.

The former Hearts of Oak defender joins the Ghana Premier League side as a free agent.

“Bibiani Goldstars today have completed the signing of highly-rated centre back, Vincent Adae Atingah who last played for Medeama SC,” the club said in a post on social media.

“Welcome Miner!!.”

Atinga joins the Miners after leaving Medeama SC following the expiration of his contract last season.

The former Black Galaxies central defender was a key figure for Medeama SC as they clinched their first Premier League title during the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.

Vincent Atinga’s move to Bibiani Gold Stars provides a major squad boost for the team in the ongoing 2-23/24 Ghana Premier League season.

Last season, the centre-back was a key man for Medeama Sporting Club in their journey to becoming Champions of the Ghana Premier League.

In his three-year stay with Medeama SC, Vincent Atinga made 74 appearances, scoring 21 goals for the club.

Atinga will hope to make his debut appearance for the Gold Stars when they Nsoatreman FC in the matchday 13 games at DUN’s Park on Sunday, December 3.

Atinga has also had stints with Kuwaiti clubs Qadsia SC and Al Shabab alongside Albanian side KF Tirana.

The defender left the club after two and a half years.

Atinga leaves the Tarkwa-based side following the end of his contract.

The former Hearts of Oak central defender joined the Yellow and Mauve in March 2021, enjoying a two-and-half-year stint with the club after his time out of the country KF Tirana in Albania and two other Kuwaiti clubs in Qadsia and AL Shabab.

Atinga scored 21 goals for the Yellow and Mauve lads in 74 appearances across all competitions. He also scored 11 goals in the 2022/2023 season in 28 matches en route to Medeama winning their first league title of the Ghanaian top flight.

Atinga was, over the weekend, honoured as the Best Player of the Year during the maiden edition of the Ghana Football Association awards at the UPSA Auditorium.

Atinga is now a free agent following his departure from Medeama SC.

Atinga joined the Tarkwa based side for an undisclosed fee after snubbing Aduana Stars and King Faisal.

The defender has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the Ghana Premier League giants.

Since leaving Hearts of Oak in 2017, Vincent Atinga has spent time in Albania and in Kuwait.

In Albania, he played for KF Tirana before later moving on to play for Al Qadsia and Al-Shabab in Kuwait.

Atinga has added to the earlier acquisition of Amed Toure and Zakaria Mumuni as the Yellow and Mauve seek to parade a star-studded squad in the second half of the season.

The 27-year-old defender is expected to provide a massive squad boost for Medeama SC in the remainder of the 2020/2021 Premier League season where they are pushing to win the title.

He was also a member of Ghana’s successful team during the 2017 WAFU Tournament.

Medeama sit third on the log with 27 points, four points behind leaders Karela United.

The Yellow and Mauve are currently on break and will resume training on Friday, March 12, 2021.
