Ghana goalkeeper Joseph Anang has been voted into the PFAI Premier Division Team of the Year after a standout season with St Patrick's Athletic.
Ghana's Joseph Anang is carrying the Black Stars flag in Irish football, and his fellow professionals have taken notice. The 26-year-old goalkeeper has been named in the 2026 PFAI League of Ireland Premier Division Team of the Year after a commanding season for St Patrick's Athletic.
The honour carries extra weight because it is decided by the players themselves. The Professional Footballers' Association of Ireland puts the vote in the hands of those who line up against each other every week, so Anang's selection is a direct nod of respect from the very forwards he has been frustrating.
The numbers back up the praise. Anang kept 10 clean sheets in 30 Premier Division appearances and posted a save rate of 76.6 per cent, making him a dependable last line of defence for St Patrick's Athletic through the campaign.
For a Ghanaian shot-stopper building his career in Europe, this kind of recognition strengthens his profile at a key moment. Anang has already represented Ghana at senior level, and consistent form like this keeps him firmly in the conversation as he looks to stay in contention for future Black Stars opportunities.
