Career

Samartex Aidoo started his career with Ghana Division One League side Samartex. During the 2019–20 Division One League season, he scored 6 goals before the league was truncated due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana. His impressive performance in the lower league caught the attention of several clubs in the Premier League including Hearts of Oak.

Hearts of Oak Aidoo joined Hearts of Oak in October 2020 on a three-year contract ahead of the 2020–21 Ghana Premier League season. He made his debut during the first game of the season on 24 November 2020, coming on in the 80th minute to replace Kwadwo Obeng Jnr in the 2–2 draw against Ashanti Gold. He scored his debut goal after scoring a brace in the 6–1 victory over Bechem United on 2 January 2021. He went on to score goals in three consecutive matches, against Elmina Sharks and Eleven Wonders. At the end of the match, he was adjudged as the man of the match. In the first round of the season, he scored 6 goals in 12 league matches and was the leading top scorer for Hearts. At the end his debut season, he scored 7 goals and made 1 assist in 29 league appearances to help Hearts win the Ghana Premier League after 12 years of trophy drought. He described that penalty miss as his worst moment of the season.

Personal life Aidoo comes from a poor background and had to help out a labourer in a rice farm whilst working as bus conductor popularly known in the twi dialect as mate just to earn money to take care of himself. He has vowed to one day help young people in the deprived communities in Ghana achieve their goals and aspirations especially young footballers.
