Jones Kusi-Asare (born 21 May 1980) is a former Swedish-Ghanaian footballer who played as a forward.

Career

He started his career at Vasalunds IF in the Stockholm suburb of Solna.[1] He was signed by Djurgården in 1998[1] and made his Allsvenskan against IFK Norrköping on 11 April 1999. He struggled in the first two seasons but in 2001 he became their top goalscorer despite the fact that he often started on the bench. After spells at Grazer AK in Austria and Denizlispor in Turkey, he returned to Swedish football in 2003 when he signed for Landskrona BoIS. After two seasons there (2003 and 2004), he returned to Djurgården and has since then been one of their top goal scorer.

In December 2008, it was announced that he would be playing at Esbjerg fB starting from spring 2009 and signs a contract between 30 June 2011. At 1 September 2010 Esbjerg fB and AaB agreed that Kusi-Asare would join AaB on a loan-contract until 31 December 2010.[2] On 26 January 2011 Jones signed with Assyriska FF from Södertälje Sweden.[3]
