Career

Naah signed for Manchester City in July 2014, and was immediately loaned out for 6 months to Strømsgodset.[3] He made his debut for Strømsgodset on 20 September 2014 in the 4-0 win against Bodø/Glimt, when he came on as a substitute in the 87th minute.

He signed for NAC Breda on an 18-month loan on 1 February 2015.[7] He scored his first goal for the club on 25 May 2015, dribbling past 2 defenders before placing the ball in the net. This was a crucial goal in the Jupiler Play Offs in order to avoid relegation from the Dutch first league Eredivisie.

Naah subsequently spent loan periods at FC Nordsjælland, Örebro SK and Tubize, joining the latter club permanently after his Manchester City contract ended.[8]

On 27 June 2019, Naah signed to the Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Ra'anana.[9]

gollark: You can also get that from some dubiously valid manipulation of the infinite sum directly right?
gollark: You can call it that. I just enjoy quoting things.
gollark: Have you tried doing a 'masters" in something else which you do like?
