Ghanaian centre-back Joseph Kinful has completed a move from Danish side Ishöj IF to Boldklubben af 1893 (B.93), sealing a step up into the Danish 1. Division. The transfer is confirmed, with the deal officially starting on 2026-02-02; the end date of his contract with B.93 has not been disclosed.
Kinful joins B.93 from Ishöj IF, who play in Denmark’s 2. Division, in what is recorded as a standard transfer. The fee has not been made public, and his current market value is not listed at the time of the move. The switch keeps the defender in Denmark but elevates him to a higher competitive tier, as B.93 compete in the 1. Division.
Before signing for B.93, the 24-year-old defender had been on the books of Ishöj IF since a transfer from Ghanaian club Bechem United FC. That earlier move from Bechem United to Ishöj IF took place on 2024-09-02, also as a standard transfer. His latest move therefore marks his second recorded club change in Europe and continues a trajectory that has taken him from domestic football in Ghana to the professional ranks in Denmark.
Kinful is listed primarily as a centre-back, described in his profile as a defender whose main role is in the heart of the back line. Born on 30 Oct 2001 and holding Ghanaian nationality, he represents a growing cohort of Ghanaian players using Scandinavian leagues as a platform to develop their careers abroad.
Market value data over recent years shows a steady rise during his early twenties, with his valuation increasing from €25,000 in late 2021 to as high as €125,000 by mid-2024 while he was still without a club. A later update in September 2024, after his move to Ishöj IF, listed his value at €0, underlining how incomplete or transitional data can sometimes obscure a player’s actual standing at club level. At the time of his transfer to B.93, no current market value is recorded, and the fee is listed only as “?”.
In Denmark, Kinful’s club history now spans both the 2. Division, where Ishöj IF compete, and the 1. Division, where B.93 are active. His national-team designation on the data source is aligned with Boldklubben af 1893, reflecting his new club status rather than international caps, and there is no information indicating senior appearances for Ghana.
There are no detailed statistics provided yet for his appearances, goals, or defensive contributions at either Bechem United or Ishöj IF, nor are there specific match-by-match performance notes in the available data. Likewise, there is no indication of when his contract with B.93 is due to expire, meaning a future free-agent scenario cannot be precisely projected from the current information, though the absence of an expiry date leaves that possibility open further down the line.
What is clear is that Kinful’s move places him firmly in a higher-profile European environment. If he can translate his rising valuation from previous years into consistent performances in the Danish 1. Division, this transfer to B.93 could become an important platform for the next phase of his career, shaping both his reputation in Scandinavia and his long-term prospects as a Ghanaian defender playing abroad.
