Born in Amsterdam, Duku started his career with Legmeervogels. He was on trial with the reserve team of Eredivisie side Heerenveen [2] at the age of 18 in 2011, before enjoying spells in the lower leagues with Legmeervogels, Abcoude, Breukelen and VV Eemdijk. He left for England to join Oxford City on a trial basis in 2015, despite not playing a minute of football for his new club, VV Eemdijk. [3]
Following his first pre-season in England, Duku opted to join Chesham United over Oxford and went onto only appear four times for the Buckinghamshire-based side before making the switch to Hemel Hempstead Town. [3] After just a sole appearance in an FA Trophy tie against Eastbourne Borough, [4] Duku went onto enjoy spells with Kings Langley and Banbury United before joining Southern League side Hayes & Yeading United prior to the 2017–18 campaign.
