Member of the Black Satellites U-20 World Cup winning squad, Bright Addae, has agreed a 4-year contract with Italian club, Parma for an undisclosed fee.

Addae, who plays for GLO Premier League Wa All Stars, landed the contract after he impressed during his trial stint with Parma last month.

Aged 17, the player cannot join the club until after the 2010 World Cup when he turns 18 which is necessitated by a FIFA directive which prevents footballers younger than 18 to be transferred to Europe.

Addae was an extra time substitute for the Ghana in their recent historic win of the U-20 World Cup against Brazil in Cairo.
