English National League side Weymouth FC have completed the signing of Ghanaian defender Jacob Mensah on a permanent deal.
The 20-year old former Crystal Palace center-back also has experience with Ramsgate, playing over 60 games for the Rams.
Mensah joins after Weymouth secured the huge signing of Aston Villa defender Dominic Revan on loan.
Mensah was in 2019 named one of the most promising non-League players by the respected Non-League Paper.
Speaking to Echosport after capturing Mensah, Weymouth boss Brian Stock highlighted the defender’s hard-working attitude.
Speaking to Echosport after capturing Mensah, Weymouth boss Brian Stock highlighted the defender’s hard-working attitude.
“He’s experienced non-League football at Ramsgate and he’s only young but he’s got a lot of attributes that we really like.
“His attitude, when it comes to trials, I don’t really remember many better.
“He came in, he trained hard, he was running afterwards. Straight away, I thought: ‘This boy wants it’.
“When you put everything into the mix, potentially, he’s got a very, very good career ahead of him.
“Some of the things that are a downfall for players, especially these days, is the (lack of) attitude and mentality, but he has that in abundance.
“He’s signed permanently to the end of the season. One of the big things the club have committed to is the accommodation.
