Konadu joined Leopards in July 2024 on a three-year deal from Ghanaian side Nsoatreman FC.

The 2012 Ghana Premier League winner with Asante Kotoko once told FARPost that he was embracing the new but difficult task of coaching the Limpopo side in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

“I am also ambitious, and I like new challenges. So I decided to consider the move here to Leopards,” Konadu told this publication at the time.

“I know about the club, especially when they were in the elite league. Now that they are in the first division, they need to fight back, which is not very easy.”
