Career

edit

Born in London, Koranteng signed for Conference National team Tamworth on loan in September 2009.[2] He joined Boston United on loan in January 2010.[3]

In August 2010 he joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan for a month.[4]

On 7 January 2012, he scored his first goal for Tonbridge Angels in just his second start.

In April 2013 Koranteng joined Southern Premier side St Neots Town. [5]

Koranteng joined East Thurrock for the start of the 2013–14 season. [6][7]

In 2013 Koranteng joined Aveley.[8] His debut against Cheshunt was marred by receiving a red card in the first half. [9] He left the club after making 25 appearances.[10]

During the 2014-15 season, Koranteng played for Maldon & Tiptree, making 30 league appearances and scoring six goals,[11] including a brace in a 3–5 home defeat to Great Wakering Rovers on 13 December.[12]

In 2015 he moved on to Witham Town, where he made 31 league appearances in his first season, scoring nine goals,[13] and was ever-present during his second season,[14] but departed the club after only six games in the 2017-18 season.[15]

After almost a year without a club, he joined Cheshunt in August 2018, scoring two goals on his debut,[16] but made only three further appearances before leaving the club the following month. In late September 2018, he joined Harlow Town, where he enjoyed regular first-team football again throughout the next four months, scoring three goals in nineteen league matches.[17]

In February 2019, Koranteng moved to Waltham Abbey, scoring three goals in twelve games during the latter part of the season,[18] and remained with the club for the abandoned 2019-20[19] and 2020-21[20] seasons.[21]
