Career

Haras El Hodood

Mensah previously played for Haras El Hodood, whom he helped win the 2008–09 Egypt Cup. He played well in Haras El Hodood's CAF Confederation Cup 2008 campaign. Mensah was involved in an incident with Ahly's striker Flávio Amado in an Egyptian Premier League match on 11 May 2009.

Lierse

27 May 2009 it was announced that he joined the Belgium club Lierse S.K. with a 2-year contract. The team gained promotion to the Belgian First Division by the end of that season, but meantime the Ghanaian defender appeared only 8 times during that campaign. That was due to a serious shoulder injury.

Wadi Degla

On 17 May 2010, Lierse announced that Mensah will join the Egyptian sister club, Wadi Degla, from the beginning of next season. Mensah is returning to Egypt once more, but to help a newly promoted team to the Egyptian Premier League this time.

International career

Mensah was called-up in the Ghana national football team for a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification against Egypt in January 2009, but did not appear in the match.
