Akwetey Mensah (born April 15, 1983) is a Ghanaian footballer. He plays as a defensive midfielder for Lierse S.K..

[edit] Career

He transferred to El-Ahly in the 2005-2004 season from El-Masry for a speculated record fee for the Egyptian League back at the time^[1]. In his debut match, which happened to be in the opening match of the group phase of the African Champions League against Enyimba in Nigeria, Akwetey suffered a tear in his knee ligaments without being touched by any player, only 6 minutes into the game and this kept him out of action for the rest of the season. In the next season, he played some games and came in as a sub. He only started in two or three games and couldn't get the attention of the Coach Manuel Jose as he didn't get back in form. He was linked with a possible transfer back to El-Masry as of January 2007 and with Al Ahli Dubai^[2]. In 2009 he signed for the Belgian Club Lierse S.K. ^[3] 27 May 2009 it was announced that he joined the Belgium club Lierse S.K.^[4].
