Dundee United have strengthened their goalkeeping ranks with the signing of Jordan Amissah, completing a deal that brings the former Burton Albion stopper to Tannadice on a fresh long-term contract.
The club confirmed the 24-year-old has agreed a two-year deal, subject to SFA approval and international clearance, with the agreement running through to the summer of 2028.
Amissah arrives early in pre-season as United continue their squad rebuild, adding direct competition for places alongside Jack Walton and Ruairidh Adams in the goalkeeping department.
Standing at 6ft 6in, the new signing is expected to bring both physical presence and depth to a key position as preparations intensify for the new campaign.
Born in Germany and of Ghanaian heritage, Amissah developed through the academies of Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, where he was part of an under-17 Bundesliga title-winning squad.
He later moved to England as a teenager, joining Sheffield United at 18 and signing his first professional contract in 2021. Loan spells in the lower leagues followed with Guiseley and Spennymoor Town, before he eventually made his senior debut for the Blades in 2022 against Luton Town.
His international profile also grew during this period, earning a call-up to Ghana’s Under-23 squad for the African Cup of Nations in 2023 following his early senior breakthrough.
A first taste of Scottish football arrived with a loan spell at Ross County, where he impressed during a strong run of form before later returning north in a permanent switch pathway that has now led him to Dundee.
With pre-season underway, Amissah now begins the push to establish himself at Tannadice, aiming to convert potential into a regular starting role in the months ahead.
