For young players and families, the journey of Andrew Appiah-Kubi is useful because it shows what a pathway looks like when development, timing and real football evidence come before promises. The milestones matter, but so do the periods of preparation, adaptation and patience between them.
Every player pathway is different. NEXTGEN Success Stories document real stages in the journey while keeping the player’s own talent, work, decisions and development at the centre of the story.
The pathway
Ghana scouting → Andalucía assessment → CP Mijas-Las Lagunas → promotion to Segunda Federación
A NEXTGEN scouting and transition story from Ghana to Andalucía, CP Mijas-Las Lagunas and promotion into Segunda Federación.
The purpose of this story is not to credit one organisation for a player’s career. The player’s talent, discipline, adaptability and persistence remain central. NEXTGEN’s role is to help create a safer, clearer pathway around that work.
Key milestones
- Starting point: Scouted in Ghana
- Assessment phase: Short term football assessment in Andalucía
- First Spanish club: CP Mijas-Las Lagunas
- Team milestone: 2025/26 promotion to Segunda Federación
What this journey demonstrates
A pathway should become more serious as the evidence becomes stronger. Kubi was assessed first, returned home when necessary, and only moved into a contract process once the club interest and legal route were real.
