About Akwasi Asante

Born 1992. Akwasi Asante is a Dutch association football player.

Kidderminster Harriers Asante was without a club for some months while recovering from injury. On 16 December 2014, he signed for Conference Premier club Kidderminster Harriers until the end of the season. He made his debut as a second-half substitute as Kidderminster beat Lincoln City with a goal in stoppage time, and finished his spell with 11 appearances without scoring. In May 2016, Asante played in the Birmingham Senior Cup final as Solihull Moors won the competition for the first time, beating Birmingham City 2–1 at St Andrew's.

Grimsby Town On 18 January 2017, Asante signed an 18-month contract with newly promoted League Two club Grimsby Town.

Injury meant Asante missed the last few weeks of the season and the first couple of months of 2017–18. To regain match fitness, he returned to Solihull Moors in mid-October on loan until January 2018. On 7 February 2018, Asante left Grimsby by mutual consent.

Tamworth On 9 February 2018, Akwasi was unveiled as a Tamworth player, signing an 18-month contract under new caretaker manager Mike Fowler, who suggested that Asante could help fill the void left by the departure of Reece Styche to National League North rivals Darlington. He scored 3 goals from 14 league appearances in what remained of the season,

Chester Asante went straight into the starting eleven for the match on 1 December, at home to Darlington, and scored a perfect hat-trickone headed goal, one right-footed and one left-footedto complete a 3–1 win. He scored in each of his next two matches, However, knee damage sustained in the final match of his loan spell kept him out until 9 February, by which time Chester had dropped out of the play-off places. On his return, he scored in each of his first two league matches, but was soon out of action with a recurrence of the previous injury. From mid-March onwards, he played in six matches and scored twice as Chester finished ninth in the table. He hoped that full participation in pre-season training would help him play a greater part in 2019–20.

He missed the first two weeks of pre-season with hamstring trouble, and a groin strain in a friendly kept him out of the first three matches of the new season. On his first appearance, he came on as a second-half substitute and converted a stoppage-time penalty to secure a draw away to Kettering Town on 13 August. Over the next four weeks of the campaign, he played seven matches and scored ten more goals, including a hat-trick at AFC Telford United that took Chester second in the table. By the time the season was abandoned because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he had 19 goals from 29 matches in all competitions.

Gloucester City On 5 June 2020, Asante signed for National League North club Gloucester City. He scored eight goals in the first nine league matches of the season. Asante made his debut for the club that weekend, and scored his side's first goal as they came back from 1–0 down to beat Weymouth 2–1. After scoring nine goals in fifteen appearances in all competitions for the club since joining, Asante signed a new contract on 5 March 2021 that would keep him at the club until 2024, rewarding the club's decision with his tenth goal the following day in a 3–0 victory over Yeovil Town. Five weeks later, he ruptured an ACL and was ruled out for an estimated nine months.

Asante returned to first-team action on 28 December 2021, playing the first hour of a 1–1 draw with FC Halifax Town. During his third appearance, he scored Chesterfield's goal in a 5–1 loss to 2021 Champions League winners Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup. He scored six goals from 23 league appearances, He was transfer-listed at the end of the season, but regained form and a place in the side. However, injuries again intervened, he played little in the second half of the 2022–23 season and not at all in 2023–24, and he left the club by mutual consent on 8 November 2023.

Darlington Asante signed for National League North club Darlington on 14 November 2023. Although the player had recovered from injury, manager Josh Gowling said he would need a "mini pre-season" to regain fitness. He was a regular in the matchday squad for the first few weeks, but injury again intervened. He made the last of his nine appearances in the final match of the season, and his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in May 2024.
