Club career

Born in Obuasi, Ashanti, Opoku began his career at the AshantiGold Soccer Academy[2] and was promoted to Ashanti Gold S.C.[3] He left Ashanti Gold and moved to Tunisian side Club Sportif Sfaxien as a free agent in January 2007.[4]

In December 2008, Opoku signed with Al Sadd of the Qatar Stars League. On 22 February 2011, he joined another Qatari club Al-Ahli on a three-month loan deal from Al Sadd.[5]

Opoku signed a contract with Bulgarian side Levski Sofia during the summer of 2012 and made his official debut for the team on 26 July 2012, in a 1–3 away loss against FK Sarajevo in a UEFA Europa League match. His first and only game in the league was on 25 August 2012, in the 2–0 away win over Montana. Levski Sofia ended his contract on 27 October 2012, reportedly due to disciplinary issues.[6] Opoku subsequently had a stint with Israeli club Hapoel Kfar Saba, appearing in 9 league matches between September and December 2012.[7]

International career

Opoku played at the 2005 Africa under 17 Championships and was member of the Ghana national under-17 football team at 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Peru. Opoku was also part of the Ghana national under-20 football team that won the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt.
