Early life

Club career

[edit]Amissah is a youth product of the academies of the German clubs Holsterhausen Herne, VfL Bochum, Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund before moving to England with the youth sides of Sheffield United in 2018.[4] On 21 May 2021, he signed his first professional contract with Sheffield United.[1] He began his senior career on loan with Guiseley in the National League North for the first half of the 2021–22 season.[5] In January 2022 he was loaned to Spennymoor Town for the second half of the National League North Season.[6] He made his professional debut with Sheffield United in a 1–1 EFL Championship tie with Luton Town on 26 August 2022, coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute after the starting goalkeeper Wes Foderingham fell ill.[7] In January 2023, Amissah joined League One club Burton Albion on loan until the end of the season.[8] Amissah made his debut for Burton Albion in the FA Cup in a 1–0 defeat to Grimsby Town on 7 January. A week later, he made his League One debut in a 4–0 defeat to Shrewsbury Town. It wasn't until 3 May that he would make an appearance in goal, in a 1–0 victory over Cambridge United.
On 29 May 2024, Sheffield United announced he would be released in the summer when his contract expired.[9] He spent time in July 2024 on trial with Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle, appearing on the bench in a friendly against Heart of Midlothian played at the University of Glasgow’s sports complex in Garscube on 3 July.
Ross County
[edit]On 6 December 2024, Amissah signed for Scottish club Ross County on a short-term deal.[10] In January 2025, Amissah allegedly received a racially abusive social media message after a match against Aberdeen.[11] On 7 January 2025, he extended his deal until the end of the season.[12]
On 25 March 2025, Amissah signed a two-year deal to remain with the Staggies until June 2027.[13] He suffered relegation from the top flight to the second tier while playing for the club.[14]
