“We are thrilled to welcome Yaw to Columbus,” said Columbus Crew President & General Manager Tim Bezbatchenko.

“Yaw is a young winger whose dynamic style of play has made him one of the most exciting up-and-coming players in the Ekstraklasa during his time in Poland. In addition to playing in some of the top leagues in Europe, Yaw also brings valuable international experience with the Ghanaian National Team.

"We believe his addition to our roster will strengthen our attack and help us increase production out wide.”

Yaw Yeboah has spent most of his time in Europe after leaving Ghana in 2014 to sign for English giants Manchester City.

Things did not work out at City, and after several loans spells, he joined CD Numancia in Spain in 2018 before making a move to Celta Vigo. After his time at Celta, he joined Wisla Krakow.
