Career

As a product of the Ajax Youth Academy, he began his professional career at Almere City in the Dutch Eerste Divisie on a season-long loan for the 2010–2011 season. [1]

On 10 November 2010, his loan spell was brought to an abrupt end following an incident in the Almere City locker room, where Osei Kofi put a gun to the head of teammate Christian Gandu. [2] Two days later his contract with Ajax was canceled with immediate effect as a result. [3]

Osei Kofi then went on trial in England at Birmingham City and Crystal Palace but was not offered a contract. In March 2012 he signed with the Spanish club CD Comarca de Níjar which plays in the Tercera División. [4] In the 2012/13 season he played for Haaglandia in the Topklasse. He finished the season with FK Drita Bogovinje in North Macedonia. In June 2013 he signed for a season with Aris Limassol in Cyprus. Then he was without a club for several years.

In October 2017 he signed for English non-league side Chorley, however was released after making just a single appearance in the FA Cup. [5]
