The left-footed defender brings extensive experience across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East to his new club as he prepares to make an immediate impact in Indian football.
Arago’s move to Asia comes on the heels of a brief spell with Al-Ta’awon, whom he joined on a free transfer from Kosovan top-flight outfit SC Gjilani on September 26, 2025.
During his stint in Libya, the towering defender made 15 Premier League appearances.
Born in Accra, Ghana, to a Liberian-Ghanaian heritage, the defender made his senior international debut for Liberia in 2021.
Over a decade-long professional journey, he has featured in domestic leagues across Kosovo, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Finland, and Greece.
His most notable club spell came in the Kosovan Superliga, where he logged 107 top-flight appearances while tallying one goal and four assists.
He also recorded 17 appearances in the Saudi First Division League during his time with Ohod Club.
Arago’s signing expands the growing roster of Liberian football ambassadors competing abroad.
Details regarding his contract length, transfer terms, and anticipated debut date have not yet been disclosed by Samaleswari SC.
