Career

Anyinsah started his career at Bristol City making his debut on the 7 August 2004 against Torquay United. In 2005, he spent a month on loan with Hereford United.

At the beginning of the 2005–06 season, Anyinsah opted not to sign a new contract for Bristol City – who he'd been with since the age of 9 – and instead signed for Preston North End, a move he was particularly happy with on a personal level due to him having many close friends who live in the area. In 2006, he had loan spell with Bury.

In September 2007, he joined Carlisle United on a month-long loan. He scored his first senior goal whilst with the Cumbrians in a 3–1 victory at Bournemouth. The loan was extended to three months, but no permanent deal came of it.

On 11 September 2008, Anyinsah joined League One side Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for a month.[1] He scored Brighton's second goal in their Carling Cup second round match victory against Manchester City.

In January 2009, Anyinsah re-joined fellow League One side Carlisle United for an undisclosed fee. He made his second debut for Carlisle United as a 72nd minute substitute, scoring the winning goal in a 3–2 win over Milton Keynes Dons on 17 January.

Anyinsah made his Charlton debut on 11 September 2010, stepping off the substitutes bench to score the winning goal in a 1–0 victory over Notts County.

On 6 July 2011, Anyinsah signed for Bristol Rovers returning to his hometown of Bristol.
