Joseph Aidoo (born 29 September 1995) is an Ghanaian footballer who is currently playing for Hammarby in Sweden.

Club career

He started his professional football career at Inter Allies in the First Capital Plus Premier League, being the team captain in the season of 2014/2015. In the season of 2013/2014, Aidoo was nominated in the category "Defender of the year" in the Ghana Premier League, but eventually missed out on the award.

In August 2015, Swedish team Hammarby in Allsvenskan signed Aidoo on a six-month loan deal. He made his debut, and his only appearance during the season, against then reigning champions Malmö FF on 25 October 2015. Even though Hammarby lost with a score of 0-1, Aidoo put on an impressive performance being voted "player of the game".

Before the 2016 Allsvenskan season, he signed for Hammarby permanently on a three-year deal. He made his first league appearance of the season against Malmö FF 18th May, playing the first half before being substituted at halftime.

International career

Aidoo featured in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup for Ghana. He played all four of his side's fixtures, with Ghana eventually getting eliminated by Mali in the quarter finals. He was also called up to the African U-20 Championship earlier the same year, where Ghana finished in third place.
