Trabzonspor officially announced a one-year contract extension for Akwasi Yeboah on Saturday.
The 29-year-old British combo forward joined the Turkish club at the top of the 2025–26 season. He delivered a solid campaign by averaging 9.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks per contest over 33 appearances in the Turkiye Sigorta Basketbol Super Ligi.
His individual contributions helped guide the squad to the BSL Playoffs 2026 after finishing sixth in the 2025–26 Regular Season, though they were ultimately eliminated in the Quarterfinals.

Standing at 1.98 meters tall and weighing 104 kilograms, the Sekondi-Takoradi-born player is known for his physical style of play and accurate perimeter shooting. His journey began in the United States, playing NCAA games for Stony Brook and Rutgers between 2016 and 2020. Upon graduating, Yeboah moved to Europe, spending his early professional career from 2020 to 2022 in the second-tier division of France.
This extension marks his return to the Basketball Champions League. He previously made 28 appearances with fellow Turkish sides Darussafaka Lassa and Galatasaray Ekmas during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons. He later spent the 2024–2025 season in Italy’s LBA UnipolSai with Trapani Shark.
On the international stage, Yeboah remains a key figure for the senior national team of Great Britain. He represented his country at the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 and participated in various Qualifiers tournaments following a successful junior career.
Trabzonspor is set to debut in the BCL during the upcoming 2026–27 edition, marking the club’s first continental campaign in eight years. To support this run, management has aggressively rebuilt its roster, previously welcoming Emanuel Terry, Brady Manek, Troy Caupain, and Tolga Gecim.
