NAC Breda posted on their official website:

"NAC has immediately strengthened itself with the 25-year-old Kamal Sowah. Sowah is a multifunctional player, with a lot of depth as an attacking midfielder and can also be deployed from the sides up front. The Ghanaian, with a Belgian passport, recently terminated his contract with Club Brugge and signs a contract in Breda for two and a half seasons. In addition, the Breda club has negotiated an option for an additional season."

The versatile midfielder arrives after spells with OH Leuven, Club Brugge, AZ Alkmaar and Standard. The Right to Dream Academy graduate started his career in Europe with Leicester City.

What Sowah brings to NAC

The Ghana international is renowned for his versatility, being able to play across all positions in midfield.

Having worked with Hoefkens, a coach under who he has flourished in the past, it is expected that he will play a pivotal role in the club's campaign.

Technical Director of NAC Breda Peter Maas said:

"Kamal has a dynamic attacking profile and can play in multiple positions. He is also strong in his defensive work and fits in well with this NAC with his aggressive style. Kamal is indeed quite fit, but because he has not played for a while, he will first receive extra training. The focus at NAC this season is absolutely on maintaining his position in the Eredivisie, but with Kamal's arrival we are also already selecting for next season."

Sowah also comes with experience playing the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League.
