The
28-year-old joined the Tigers at the start of the season from league rivals Chester
and went on to make 10 appearances for the club, scoring 8 goals.
He
had been in sensational form for the Seals, scoring 21 goals in 29 appearances.
He
was third in the National League North top scorer’s table, averaging a league
goal every 94 minutes - the best in the division and only bettered by Sergio
Aguero across the top six domestic leagues.
Originally
from Amsterdam, started his career at Birmingham City in 2011.
He
had loan spells at Northampton Town and Shrewsbury Town before leaving the
Blues to sign for Kidderminster Harriers.
After
leaving Aggborough he made the short trip north to Solihull Moors and in a
two-season stint in the National League he scored 28 goals, attracting the
attention of Football League clubs.
In
2017 he signed for Grimsby Town in League Two but left the Mariners by mutual
consent and signed for Tamworth.
After
24 games with Tamworth he moved to Chester, initially on loan, and on his debut
scored a `perfect` hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Darlington.
He
has been prolific for the Deva Stadium outfit, making him one of the National
League North’s most sought-after marksmen.
Asante
had 18 months of his contract remaining with the Tigers. However, Chesterfield
met a release clause enabling him to leave for a club in a higher division.
As
a part of the agreement, Chesterfield have confirmed that no other contracted
Gloucester City players will be approached. |
