Kyle Emmanuel Kwabena Asante (born 13 November 1991) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays for Bishop's Stortford.
Career
Asante was born in Chelmsford, Essex.[1] He made his debut for Southend United on 7 November 2009 in their 3–0 away defeat to Gillingham in the FA Cup first round, replacing James Walker in the 83rd minute as a substitute.[2]
Asante suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury which hampered his progress with the first team. On 8 February 2011, Asante scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 against Luton Town in a reserve game which led to manager Paul Sturrock naming him in his first team squad. Asante made his league debut as a sub on 19 February 2011 replacing Blair Sturrock against Torquay United.
On 18 May 2012, Asante was one of eleven players to be released at the end of their contract.[3]
