After his exploits at the 1991 FIFA U-17 World Championship, 15-year old Duah was bought by Serie A side Torino FC, alongside three other teammates. He never appeared officially for the Italian club, and also had a very difficult time at his following team, Standard Liège in Belgium.
After two years in Turkey with as many clubs, Duah joined RCD Mallorca in the Spanish second division, being sparingly used as the Balearic Islands side promoted to La Liga. His next stop - also in the second level - would be his most productive and steady, as he played five years with U.D. Leiria in Portugal, also attaining promotion in his debut season, with a career-best 11 goals in only 18 games.
Duah was used regularly by Leiria in the following top flight seasons, but only appeared in ten games in 2001–02 (three goals), as the José Mourinho-led side qualified to the UEFA Intertoto Cup, after finishing seventh. Subsequently released, he continued in the country, playing two seasons with Gil Vicente FC, also in the first division.
Duah closed out his career in 2008 at nearly 32, after two-year spells in Lebanon and Israel.
Duah was a member of Ghana's under-17 team that won the 1991 FIFA World Championship in Italy, scoring his only goal in the tournament in the final against Spain (1–0).
In 1993, he was again essential as the under-20s reached the final, losing against Brazil.[1] A full international since the age of 18, Duah represented the nation at the 1996 Summer Olympics and the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations, exiting in the quarterfinals in the former competition.
