Narey was born in Neuwied, Rhineland-Palatinate, and grew up in Leverkusen. His parents come from Togo, but he only holds German citizenship.[3]
Narey played youth football for SV Bergfried Leverkusen-Steinbüchel from June 2003 to 30 June 2008.[4] After moving to Bayer Leverkusen in 2010, he was promoted from their U19 team to the reserves ahead of the 2013–14 season, and developed into a regular player. He played there for a total of four years before moving to Borussia Dortmund. Narey joined Borussia Dortmund II in 2014 from Bayer Leverkusen.[5] He made his professional debut in the 3. Liga on 26 July 2014 against Rot-Weiß Erfurt.[6]and was even part of the squad for the black and yellow licensed team at the start of the Bundesliga this season. He was loaned to Paderborn, where he became a regular in league two in the second half of the season. Narey joined Greuther Fürth on 1 July 2016 on a three-year contract with whose jersey in two seasons he played in 70 matches, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists.[7]
For the 2018–19 season, Narey moved to Hamburger SV. He signed for newly relegated 2. Bundesliga club, agreeing on a four-year contract.[8] Under head coaches Christian Titz and Hannes Wolf, he established himself as a regular starter as a winger to finish with 32 league appearances (28 starts). With seven league goals, he was only behind Pierre-Michel Lasogga (13 goals), to become the second highest goalscorer of a HSV team, which missed out on direct promotion with a 4th-place finish. A key member of the team recording 84 appearances, 11 goals and 9 assists, but the fact that Hamburg was reaching the well but not drinking the water and the introversion in the team and the constant changes of coaches led him again to look for the new challenge in his career .
Last summer he signed a two-year contract with Fortuna Dusseldorf a football player who is coming off the best season of his career, as he scored 8 goals for Fortuna Dusseldorf and provided 15 assists in 31 matches in Germany's 2. Bundesliga.[9]
After weeks of waiting and hard "bargaining", the Thessalonikians managed to reach an agreement with the German team for the acquisition of the 27-year-old German winger, with the "Double-headed eagle" paying around 1.5 million € plus 250,000 € in bonuses and a 10% share in possible future transfer fees.[10][11]
Narey was born in Germany to Togolese parents. He was called up to the Togo national football team in October 2016.[12]
