Wakaso began his senior career in Ashanti Gold SC. In 2008, he moved abroad and signed with Elche CF in Spain, on a five-year contract. The player only joined the club nearly two months later however, due to international duty.[1]
In late January 2011, after several bouts of indiscipline and club internal codes violations,[2] Wakaso was released by the Valencian Community club.[3] Shortly after, he joined another club in the region and Segunda División, Villarreal CF's B-team.
On 27 February 2011, Wakaso made his La Liga debut, replacing José Catalá in the last minutes of a 2–2 away draw against Racing de Santander.
Mubarak represented Ghana at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Peru, playing two games in an eventual group stage exit (three draws).[4]
Wakaso's younger brother, Abdulai Alhassan Wakaso, is also a footballer. A defender, he played several years in Portugal with Portimonense SC.[5]
