Woking Football Club has officially announced the signing of English-Ghanaian defender Zico Asare on a two-year deal from Harrogate Town.
The 25-year-old brings extensive EFL and National League experience, having begun his development at Fulham’s youth academy at age 8 before spending over a decade with the Cottagers.
Asare’s journey includes spells at Oxford City and Maidenhead United. He joined League Two’s Harrogate Town in July 2024, making 34 appearances in his first season before adding 16 more in 2025/26. His performances earned him England U-15, U-16, and England C national team call-ups.
Director of Football Jody Brown said: “We looked at Zico prior to bringing Aaron in last summer, but he wasn’t available. He’s comfortable on both sides, and at 25 years old, he brings a great deal of EFL and NL experience, still has potential to improve, but already has many of the qualities we want from our full backs”.
Brown added: “I coached against him a few times and saw the problems he caused us, and how he dealt with our play, he always impressed me”.
Brown emphasized: “He wants to be here, which is key, and we think he’s a really positive addition to our squad”.
