‘My loan at Dunfermline Athletic was a success’ - Ghana defender Ewan Otoo

Published on: 27 June 2023

Scotland-born Ghanaian defender Ewan Otoo says his loan at Dunfermline Athletic from Celtic Glasgow was a success.

The 20-year-old versatile player joined the club on loan from the Scottish giants in the January transfer window and made 11 appearances.

After what he described as a successful loan spell, Otoo signed a three-year deal that will run until 2026 with the second-tier club, who gained promotion last season.

“My goal for the loan was to be in a position where Dunfermline wanted me back for the next season, so from that point of view I think it’s been a success. Then, from the way it went personally, I made my mind up that I wanted to come back.

“All in all, I would say I’m happy that’s the way it’s went.  I feel like I ended last season quite strongly and hopefully I can hit the ground running, start really strongly and continue that through to this season.

“I’m delighted to be here. The three-year deal shows the faith the gaffer and the club has in me. It shows that they’ve got a goal for me, they’ve got a vision for me.

“I’m really happy about that, it’s a real positive for me. So hopefully I can repay that with good performances on the pitch. It’s offered me an opportunity to develop and get even better and I want to help the team as much as I possibly can.”
