Although the enthusiastic midfielder's Arsenal career only extended to two sub appearances, he went on to enjoy a long and successful career in the lower leagues.
Kwame joined Exeter City in the 2000 close season and earned himself a regular place in the Grecians midfield in 2000-01. Essentially a ball-winning player in the centre of the park he showed precise judgement in the tackle and excellent distribution. He scored his only goal of the campaign in the Worthington Cup tie at Swindon last August. Kwame has played at U18 and U21 level for Ireland.
