Richard Boadu's football career

Born and bred in Ghana, Boadu’s footballing journey began in the local leagues, where he built a name for himself through sheer grit.

He rose through the ranks, eventually joining Medeama SC before making a significant switch to Asante Kotoko, one of the country’s most decorated football clubs.

During the 2021/22 season, the midfielder was a central figure in Kotoko's league-winning squad as reported by ghanafa.

When did Richard Boadu move to Libyan football?

In August 2023, Boadu made a career-defining move, signing for Libyan giants Al-Ahly, per Transfermarkt.

While some questioned the decision due to Libya's volatile football landscape, Boadu saw an opportunity to challenge himself and take his career to new heights.

His adaptation was seamless, quickly becoming a key part of Al-Ahly’s midfield engine.

Barely two years later, in February 2025, Boadu signed for another top-tier Libyan side, Al-Tahaddy, further cementing his status as one of the league’s standout players.

The move came with improved terms and recognition of his impressive performances in the Libyan Premier League.
