Black Stars defender Stephan Ambrosius joins Swiss side St. Gallen

Swiss Super League side, St. Gallen, have announced the signing of Ghanaian defender Stephan Ambrosius.

The Black Stars defender joins the Swiss outfit on a three-year deal which will keep him at the club until 2027.

Ambrosius joins St. Gallen as a free agent following the end of his contract with German side Hamburger SV.

The Ghanaian joined Hamburger in 2012 and played through all of the junior ranks before making it to the senior teams.

The central defender made 18 appearances for the club last season in Bundesliga 2 having returned from his loan spell at Karlsruher SC at the end of the 2022/23 campaign.

Ambrosius has been capped twice for the Black Stars both coming in friendly games last year.

The Ghanaian will don jersey number 5 at his new club and share the same locker room with national teammates Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Musah Nuhu.
