Career

Buah joined Port Vale after impressing in a trial game at Keele University in 2021. [3] He made his first-team debut on 10 October 2023, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Ethan Chislett in a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United U21 in an EFL Trophy group stage game at Vale Park. [4] The following month, he was played out of position at left-wing-back against Wrexham in his first start in senior football, and manager Andy Crosby said that he should "be really proud of his performance". [5] On 23 December, he joined Northern Premier League Division One West club Newcastle Town on a work experience loan, alongside youth-team teammates Eli Fisher and Daniel Mahaffy. [6] However, he picked up an injury and was not able to feature for the club. [3] He signed a one-year professional contract in July 2024 after manager Darren Moore concluded that he "possesses all of the raw attributes to kick on and become a real asset to our squad". [7]

On 20 September 2024, he returned to the Northern Premier League Division One West on a loan deal with Congleton Town. [8] Vale coach Matt Done said that youth team games had become too easy for Buah after he had transitioned from a winger to the middle of the pitch and that he needed to now make the step up to men's football. [9]

Buah is a versatile forward with an exciting playing style. [10]
