Razak Ali: The Ghanaian Striker Built on Goals
Razak Ali is a 28-year-old Ghanaian center forward known for his two-footed finishing and consistent output across West Africa and the UAE. Standing at 170cm, he plays bigger than his frame, relying on positioning, timing, and a direct attacking style.
*Early Breakthrough with Ghana U20*
Ali first turned heads during the 2014/15 U20 AFCON in Senegal. Playing 5 matches for Ghana, he found the net 7 times and established himself as one of the tournament’s most clinical finishers at youth level.
*Domestic Success at Hearts of Oak*
His senior rise came with Accra Hearts of Oak in the 2021/22 season. Ali played 6 matches in the MTN FA Cup run, scoring 6 goals and adding 3 assists as Hearts lifted the trophy. That form carried into the Ghana Premier League campaign where he made 30 appearances, scoring 34 goals and providing 12 assists. It was a dominant domestic season that put him on the radar beyond Ghana.
*Short Stint with Na God FC*
In 2022/23, Ali joined Na God FC and kept producing. Over 28 matches he scored 15 goals and recorded 4 assists, showing he could carry his scoring touch to a new setup.
*Move to the UAE*
The 2023/24 season marked his first move abroad to Majid FC in the UAE First Division. He adapted quickly, scoring 21 goals and adding 4 assists in 26 matches. The following season with Dubai City in 2024/25, he played 30 games, netting 19 goals and providing 2 assists, confirming his consistency in a more physical league.
*Return to Ghana*
For the 2025/26 season, Ali came back home to sign for Accra Golden Boys. He featured in all 30 matches, scoring 18 goals with 4 assists and picking up just 1 yellow card across the campaign. The numbers show a striker who maintains high availability and discipline while still delivering in front of goal.
Across these six seasons, Ali’s record points to a striker who thrives on volume and efficiency. From youth international to domestic champion, and now a proven scorer in both Ghana and the UAE, his career arc has been defined by staying in the right places and finishing chances with both feet.
