Poku started his career with the youth side of Kumasi-based club Asante Kotoko.[3] He rose through the ranks and became captain of their reserve side, leading them to the Northern sector reserves league in 2011.[4]
In 2013, Poku was sent on a one-year loan deal to Hearts of Lions in Kpando.[3][5] On 24 April 2014, he scored a free-kick goal to equalize the scoreline in 45th minute in a match against Accra Hearts of Oak. The match went on and ended in a 2–1 victory in favour of Heart of Lions.[6][7] He played a key role in the team finishing in second place in the 2013–14 Ghanaian Premier League. The team tried to broker a permanent deal with Asante Kotoko but he was recalled immediately the season ended.[3]
Poku returned to Asante Kotoko in July 2014 after playing an instrumental role in the 2013–14 season during his loan spell at Heart of Lions.[3] He was named in the team's squad list for the 2015 season and the 2015 CAF Champions League campaign.[8] He made his debut for the club after coming on in the 70th minute of 1–1 draw against Medeama SC.[9] At the end of the season, he played 17 league matches.[4] He was later released by the club in November 2016 as he was deemed as surplus to the team.[10][11]
