Club career

Issah began his career by Real Sportive before signing a two-year contract with AmaZulu in the South African PSL in August 2007. [1]

On 10 October 2008, he went to Serbia for trials with Red Star Belgrade [2] and in December 2008, he signed a 4.5-year contract with the club. [3] In mid-May 2009, AmaZulu contacted FIFA stating they had not received the full transfer fee for Issah from Red Star Belgrade. [4] Later that month, Issah, together with teammate and compatriot Bernard Parker sued Red Star Belgrade for failing to fulfil financial obligations. [5] In January 2011, Issah was one of eight players told they were surplus to requirements. [6]

In the 2011 summer transfer window, Issah signed for Norwegian club Rosenborg BK. [7]

On 25 January 2013, Issah joined Greek Super League club Veria F.C. on a 1.5-year loan contract. [8] After half a season, the loan was terminated. [9]

On 1 August 2013, Issah re-joined AmaZulu after almost five years in European football while AmaZulu agreed a transfer deal with Rosenborg. [10] In February 2014, the club reported him to the South African Football Association claiming he had disappeared. [11] Two months later, Issah was fined $170,000 for going absent and received a four-month playing ban. [12] [13]

International career

Issah was a member of the Ghana national under-20 team at the 2007 Toulon Tournament. [14]
