Isaac Cofie marks Sporting Gijon debut

Midfielder Isaac Cofie played his first match for Sporting Gijon on Saturday as the Spanish Segunda Division got underway.

Cofie lasted the entire duration in the 1-1 draw at Alcorcon.

He was playing in a different league for the first time since travelling abroad in 2008 and joined Genoa.

Cofie had several loan spells at Torino, Piacenza, Sassuolo, Chievo Verona and Carpi.

The 27-year-old joined the Spanish second-tier side on a free transfer after leaving Italian side Genoa.
