André Ayew has secured a new chapter in his career after completing a move to Dutch side NAC Breda, ending several months without a club following the expiry of his contract with Le Havre.
The Eredivisie outfit confirmed on Wednesday that the Ghanaian forward has agreed a short-term deal running until the end of the season, with an option to extend his stay for an additional year.
The agreement brings one of Africa’s most recognisable attacking figures to the Netherlands at a crucial moment in the club’s campaign.
NAC Breda currently sit at the foot of the Eredivisie table and continue to battle against relegation. Club officials believe Ayew’s experience and leadership can provide a timely lift as they fight to secure their top-flight status.
At 36, the former Marseille and Swansea City attacker arrives with a clear mission: help steady the team and contribute immediately in the final stretch of the season.
In announcing the signing, NAC highlighted Ayew’s profile as an experienced striker capable of influencing matches under pressure.
The club underlined his dual French-Ghanaian background and his long career at the highest levels of European football, viewing his arrival as a strategic reinforcement rather than a long-term gamble.
Ayew last featured regularly in Ligue 1 with Le Havre during the previous campaign.
Across 27 league appearances, he scored four goals and supplied one assist, often operating in demanding situations as his team sought consistency.
His output reflected both his ability to contribute in the final third and his willingness to shoulder responsibility during difficult periods.
Now free of contractual obligations until this move, Ayew has chosen NAC Breda as the setting for his return to competitive action.
The six-month deal offers flexibility for both parties, while the optional extension gives the club room to reassess depending on results and performance levels.
For NAC, the challenge remains significant. Sitting bottom of the division, every point carries increased importance, and the margin for error continues to shrink.
Ayew’s arrival adds not only attacking depth but also a calm presence shaped by years of experience in high-pressure environments.
As the season enters its decisive phase, NAC Breda hope their new signing can make an immediate impact.
Ayew, meanwhile, faces the task of translating his experience into goals, leadership, and belief for a team fighting to stay afloat in the Eredivisie.
