The versatile attacking player has has been told he is not in the plans of coach Maxwell Konadu going into the the 2020/2021 football season, and should agree to leave the club on mutual consent. Kelvin, just like already gone striker Richard Arthur, was handed a release letter purported to be a mutual termination of his contract with the club, but the former Wa All Stars (now Legon Cities) super star refused.
Andoh joined Asante Kotoko in July 2019 on a three years deal, binding him to the club till 2022. After just a season out of his three years contract with Asante Kotoko, the club informed him he is now surplus to requirement and has been released.

The player believes he has a contract with Asante Kotoko which still makes him a player of the club. Kelvin is demanding that the club pays him off for the remainder of his two years contract before he signs the termination letter and leave on mutual grounds, a demand which Kotoko is reportedly unwilling to fulfill.
