Early life

Yeboah was born in Montirone, Italy, but moved to Bristol with his family as an eight year-old. His family are friends with footballer Saikou Janneh and he helped arrange for Yeboah to play football with Inner Bristol City, to help him settle and before he had learnt to speak English. [1] [2]

Career

In August 2021, Yeboah, along with teammate Elijah Morrison, were recruited by Bristol City from the Bristol Inner City Football Academy in Easton. [3]

In June 2023, Yeboah began training with the first team squad and finished second behind Ayman Benarous in the Bristol City pre-season fitness SDS test. [4] In July 2023, he was included in the Bristol City first-team squad on a pre-season training camp to Austria and signed a three-year professional contract with the club. [5] [1] He made his professional debut for Bristol City on 9 August 2023, in the EFL Cup at home against Oxford United in a 5–1 win. [6] Following successive appearances as an impact substitute, on 20 August 2023, manager Nigel Pearson denied that Yeboah would be leaving on loan to gain experience and intimated he was in his first team thoughts, saying “why would we let anyone else have him?” [7]

On 27 February 2024, Yeboah joined National League South side Bath City on loan until the end of the 2023–24 season. [8] That same day, he scored on his league debut for Bath City, against Braintree Town. [9]
