Ekow Mills has completed a move to Spanish club CD Cabeza del Buey on a free transfer from an unnamed previous side, signing a contract running from 2025-12-02 to 2026-06-30. The Ghanaian centre-back joins the Extremadura-based outfit after a series of short stints across Europe, returning to Spanish football four years after first arriving as a youth player.
The 23-year-old defender was most recently registered with a club listed as “Unknown”, but the transfer has been formally recorded as a standard free move, with no fee involved and no market value attached in the documentation. Mills is now officially part of the Cabeza del Buey squad and will be available once his registration is processed within the Spanish system.
Mills, a left-footed central defender standing 1.83m tall, was born in Accra and carries Ghanaian nationality. His career path has been notably nomadic for a player of his age. After developing at Storm Soccer Academy in Ghana, he left his home country for Spain, joining Real Valladolid’s Under-19 side. From there he moved to Loja CD, also in Spain, before heading to Kosovo with FC Drita.
Following his spell in Kosovo, Mills became a free agent and subsequently signed for SV Erbenheim in Germany, marking another change of league and style of football. He later moved to Sweden with Arameisk-Syrianska IF, before once again dropping out of contract and being registered without a club. That period ended when he linked up with the “Unknown” side from which Cabeza del Buey have now secured him on a permanent basis.
The move places Mills once again in Spanish football, potentially lining him up for regular minutes in the country where he first made his name in Europe, rather than continuing in Ghana’s domestic scene. The league is listed as “N/A” in the available data, but the registration confirms he will be competing in the Spanish pyramid for the 2025-26 season.
No appearance figures, match statistics or recent performance data are recorded in the transfer documentation, and neither a current market valuation nor any performance-based clauses are indicated. There is also no note of positional versatility beyond his primary role as a centre-back, although his left foot offers a natural balance option in central defence.
For Cabeza del Buey, the deal represents a low-risk addition: a young defender with experience in multiple European environments but arriving without a transfer fee. For Mills, it is another chance to settle, re-establish himself and build continuity at a club in a country he already knows. If he can turn this stability into consistent performances, the spell at Cabeza del Buey could become a crucial platform in shaping the next phase of his career.
