English-born Darko Gyabi opens door to Ghana national team switch

As his international future develops, Hull City midfielder Darko Gyabi believes he is still open to playing for Ghana at the senior level.

Gyabi, who was born in England to Ghanaian parents, Darko Gyabi participated in the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup and represented the Young Lions at several youth levels. His next move on the international scene is still unknown, though, as he hasn’t played for the England U-21 team since November 2024.

The 21-year-old emphasized in an interview with RG that although aiding Hull City in the Championship is his top priority, he has not given up on the Black Stars.

“I definitely know that Ghana can be an option in the future, but it’s all about timing,” he said. “My Ghanaian roots are just part of who I am.” Gyabi, whose entire family is Ghanaian, continues to maintain strong ties to the country and visits regularly.

“I love going back to Ghana. My entire family is from Ghana,” he added.

His comments come as Ghana intensify preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they will face Panama, England and Croatia in Group L.

The midfielder’s ongoing progress in the Championship could place him firmly on Ghana’s radar ahead of the tournament.

With both nations monitoring his development closely, Gyabi’s next international decision promises to be one that could shape the years ahead in his career.
