*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Patrick was born in Accra, Ghana where he competed in youth tournaments and was often fielded in matches for higher age groups; Asare was playing for a U-12 team at 8 years old, and for a U-14 team at 9 years old.[1]
Asare played in Ghana's Division One League playing professional football clubs Dreams F.C. and later Karela United.[2]
Asare first came to Malaysia in 2014 supposedly to seal a deal that would enable him to play for a reputed club. However he was left stranded in the country without a club after he found out that he was deceived by a fake agent. He was taken in by a local church and Asare decided to continue his studies in Malaysia and pursued a degree in sports management with a focus on football studies. He also went to the United Kingdom in 2016 to finish his studies.[1]
After a two-year hiatus, Asare participated in a tryout organized by Myanmar League 1 club Zwegabin United F.C. which led to him being signed in by the club.[1]
Patrick signed with Yadanarbon F.C. in the second quarter of the 2017 Myanmar National League[3] after an impressive short contract spell with Zwegabin United F.C. He was also included in squads for the 2017 Myanmar National League. Patrick scored a total of 10 goals in 7 league appearances as well as 2 goals in 2 appearances in the General Aung San Shield for Yadanarbon F.C., making it a total of 12 goals scored in 9 matches played for the team.
Philippines Football League side Kaya–Iloilo announced in April 2021 that they have signed in Asare to play for the club.[4]
