Ghanaian midfielder Tyrone Owusu commits future to Telstar with new deal

Telstar have confirmed that Ghanaian midfielder Tyrone Owusu has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027.

The 26-year-old, who captured headlines with a spectacular goal in Telstar’s recent victory over PSV at the Philips Stadium, has been rewarded with fresh terms that underline his growing influence within the squad.

Owusu stunned supporters and opponents alike two weeks ago when he struck a superb long-range effort to give Telstar a 1-0 lead against PSV.

The match went on to finish 2-0, a landmark result for the club and a defining moment in the Ghanaian’s career.

The midfielder’s new deal extends his stay in Velsen-Zuid by a further year and reflects the club’s faith in his contribution both on and off the pitch.

His performances last season and early signs of consistency this term have firmly established him as one of Telstar’s key figures.

Technical director Peter Hofstede expressed his delight at securing Owusu’s services for the long term, praising the player’s growth and importance to the team.

“Tyrone made fantastic progress last season and, thanks to his footballing skills and insight, he has become one of the key players in the current squad,” Hofstede said in a statement. “We are delighted to have signed him for another season.”

Owusu’s journey to professional football has been marked by resilience and steady development.

A product of the youth system at ADO Den Haag, he spent several years honing his game at amateur sides including Westlandia, Scheveningen and Quick Boys between 2019 and 2024 before making the step up to Telstar.

Since joining the club, the Ghanaian midfielder has been integral to Telstar’s rise in stature. His tactical awareness, combined with a growing confidence in possession and eye for goal, has made him an indispensable part of the squad.

Last season, he played a pivotal role as the team progressed towards greater prominence, cementing his reputation as a dependable performer.

The extension of Owusu’s contract also signals Telstar’s broader strategy of building stability by retaining core players who can provide leadership and consistency.

For the player himself, the deal offers both recognition for his recent performances and an opportunity to continue developing at a club where he has already made a lasting impact.

The highlight of his season so far remains the goal against PSV – a moment that not only secured a famous victory but also showcased his technical ability on one of Dutch football’s biggest stages.

For many supporters, it was a reminder of how far Owusu has come since his days in the amateur leagues.

At 26, the midfielder is entering what should be the peak years of his career, and Telstar’s decision to tie him down until 2027 ensures that those years will be spent contributing to the club’s ambitions.

His work ethic, coupled with his determination to improve, has earned him admiration from coaches, teammates and fans alike.

With his immediate future now secured, Owusu will focus on building on his momentum and helping Telstar achieve further success in the coming seasons.

For both club and player, the agreement represents continuity, ambition and the promise of more memorable moments ahead.
