Kouogun has been plying his trade for Waterford since December 2018 and has spent the majority of his career playing in Ireland, racking up over 120 senior appearances at just 22-years-old.
Having
finished the League of Ireland in the final position of sixth place at the
Blues, Kouogun joins having impressed behind closed doors.
Harrogate
manager Simon Weaver told https://www.harrogatetownafc.com:
“He has done well over in Ireland, has good experience for a young man and
seems very calm and assured.
“We
wanted to give an opportunity to someone who is similar to the other lads in
terms of wanting to improve, he has shown good commitment coming over twice now
from Ireland in a couple of weeks and a real determination to make this move
happen.
“He’s
really strong to say he is only 22 and has an old head on young shoulders, we
think his game is going to go from strength to strength.”
The
Cameroon-born defender had been with Northern Irish Premier League Warrenpoint
previously, then four seasons at UCD before that which included appearances in
the Europa League.
“We
have had a look at a couple of lads recently and as we have got better and
bigger as a club more and more contacts have been in touch,” added Weaver. “Our
chief scout Lee Barraclough has now arranged a Southern Ireland scout to be out
watching games on a regular basis so we are branching out, we have someone out
in Scotland as well as the North West and down South.
“We
want to be finding the Will Smith’s and Connor Hall’s out there, good players
that have gone under the radar as that’s a really rewarding feeling rather than
getting ready-made players”.
