Ghana's Prospect Daniel Afriyie Barnieh


Daniel Afriyie Barnieh born on 26th June, 2001, is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a attacking forward for Ghanaian Premier league side Accra Hearts of Oak.

He is an Akan born in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. He is a former student of Aduman Senior High School in the Ashanti region of Ghana.
He played Galaxy United a division two club in 2016/2017.
He also joined Rahimo FC, a top-flight Burkinabe club in January 2018 where he helped the club to win the Burkinabe premier league in the 2018/2019 season.

He returned to Ghana and joined Thunder Bolt FC in the division two league and later moved to Madina Republicans.

In December 2019, Afriyie was given a four-week trial at Kumasi Asante Kotoko. He failed to impress during the trials after being played out of position as an out-and-out striker but found it difficult to communicate it to the coach with fear of being dropped.

The following month after being dropped by Kotoko, Afriyie was given another chance to play for a Ghanaian Premier League side after he was offered as part of negotiations between Hearts of Oak and Abdul Aziz Nurudeen whom he shared the same agent with. He was given the opportunity on trial and observed by the head coach.


Fortunately for him, he impressed the technical staff, and on 15th January 2020, he was signed on a 3-year deal ahead of the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League. He made his debut on 19th January 2020 in a 2–1 away win against Liberty Professionals in a local duel.

At age 20, he has won six(6) trophies. He is one of the Icons of Ghana football 🌈

On 3 August 2021, after an impressive season with Hearts of Oak, Afriyie received his debut call up to the Ghana A' (Local Black Stars) under the management of Annor Walker for a camping exercise ahead of their upcoming international assignments including 2022 CHAN qualifiers and 2021 WAFU Cup of Nations. A week later, under the management of C.K. Akunnor, Afriyie was handed his first call-up into the Ghana senior team, the Black Stars, ahead of Ghana's 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup Group G qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa. He was one of the five home-based players to make the squad.

Some of his personal honours include Hearts of Oak
