Benson Anang: Ghana Right-Back Leaves Akritas Chlorakas to Become Free Agent

Ghanaian right-back Benson Anang has completed his departure from Cypriot side Akritas Chlorakas and is now officially without a club, ending his spell in the Cyprus 2. Division and entering the market as a free agent. The transfer was registered on 2026-07-01, with no transfer fee involved as his contract ran its course.

The move confirms Anang’s status as unattached after leaving Akritas Chlorakas, with his next destination yet to be determined. His market value is currently listed at €175k, underlining that, despite his free-agent status, he remains a player of recognised worth in the European lower leagues.

Born in Accra and now 26 years old, Anang operates primarily as a right-back and is right-footed. Standing at 1.72m, he profiles as a modern full-back whose attributes are suited to both defensive duties and up-and-down flank work. His registration now shows “Without Club” both at team and national-team level, reflecting that he is not currently tied to any professional side or national squad set-up.

Prior to this latest change in status, Anang was contracted to Akritas Chlorakas in Cyprus, competing in the 2. Division, the second tier of Cypriot football. His stint there placed him firmly in the category of Ghanaian players building their careers abroad rather than in the domestic Ghanaian leagues, adding another chapter to the growing export of talent from Accra and beyond to European clubs of various levels.

The formal transfer entry lists Akritas Chlorakas as the club of departure and “Without Club” as the destination, with the competition fielded as “N/A” and the receiving league also marked “N/A,” confirming that this is a straightforward transition into free agency rather than a move to another registered competition. With no transfer fee recorded, it is a clean break that gives both player and former club full flexibility going into the new season.

Details such as precise appearance numbers, goals, assists, and individual match performances at Akritas Chlorakas are not included in the available data, nor are any recent match scorelines or opponent specifics. However, his maintained market valuation of €175k indicates that his performances in Cyprus, and earlier stages of his career, have left his reputation intact in scouting databases and transfer evaluations.

Anang’s career path to date has been defined by his willingness to play outside Ghana, and this latest development keeps him firmly on the international market. With his profile as a Ghanaian right-back, experience in European club structures and a free-agent status, he is now positioned for another move abroad should an interested club emerge. His next contract, whenever and wherever it is signed, will determine whether he continues his career on the continent or seeks a new start closer to home, and could prove decisive in shaping the next phase of his professional journey.
