Divine Naah Secures Future with FK Kaunas Zalgiris Amid Key Transitions

Divine Naah, a Ghanaian midfielder, has extended his contract with FK Kaunas Zalgiris through the 2025 season. Naah's essential role in the squad is cemented with this move, as he enters his sixth season in Kaunas.

In the summer of 2021, Naah made his debut for Kaunas Zalgiris and immediately became a vital member of the team. After a brief stint in Azerbaijan during the first half of 2023, the midfielder returned to Lithuania that summer, bringing renewed vigor to the team.

With 91 appearances in the TOPsport A League and contributions in 13 UEFA tournament qualifiers and LFF Cup matches, Naah has cemented his legacy as a record-setting foreign player for the club. His pivotal 2024 LFF Cup quarter-final goal against FA Siauliai underscored his ability to deliver in crucial moments.

As Kaunas Zalgiris navigates a period of transition, following departures like Jonathan Tamimi and Quentin Bena, Naah’s experience and leadership will be crucial for the team’s ambitions.

At 28, Naah’s career traces back to Manchester City, where he joined from the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana for a reported fee of €1 million. His journey underscores his resilience and commitment to excelling in European football.
