Appiah made 69 appearances for Ghana between 1996 and 2010 and scored 16 goals.
The midfielder revived his club career last season at Serbian top-flight side FK Vojvodina where he made 11 appearances and scored 1 goal in return.
Striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom also bagged a double in the Black Satellites’ Division.
He came away with the Top Scorer and Most Valuable Player Awards while Rashid Sumaila picked up the Most Dedicated Player Award in that Division.
