Club career


Inkoom began his career with Sekondi Hasaacas in his native Ghana.[3] He later moved to Asante Kotoko SC in Ghana.

On 26 April 2009, he moved for an undisclosed fee from Asante Kotoko to FC Basel in the Swiss Super League on a three-year contract.[4][5][6] He made his Basel debut in a 2–0 defeat to FC St. Gallen on 12 July 2009, at the AFG Arena.[7] He was a member of their double trophy winning team in 2010.[8][9]

On 23 January 2011 Inkoom moved to FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk of the Ukrainian Premier League. On 30 October 2011, in a league game against FC Karpaty Lviv, Inkoom received a yellow card for taking his shirt off while leaving the pitch to be substituted by Yevhen Shakhov. This was Inkoom's second yellow card of the game and he received a red card and Shakhov could not come on.[10] His side were able to hold out for the 2–0 away win though.[11]

In February 2013 Inkoom moved to Bastia of the French Ligue 1 for the rest of the 2013–14 season.[12] The following season Inkoom again moved on six-month loan, this time to Greek side Platanias in January 2014.[13]

In September 2014, Inkoom signed with D.C. United of Major League Soccer on a free transfer. Personal terms were not disclosed.[14]

On 8 December 2014, Inkoom was traded to Houston Dynamo along with Joe Willis, in exchange for Andrew Driver and a fourth-round 2016 MLS SuperDraft pick. However, he did not sign with the club.[15]

On 11 June 2015, Inkoom joined Boavista of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on a three-year-deal.[16]

On 6 January 2016, Inkoom signed a contract with Turkish-side Antalyaspor.[17]

On 24 February 2017, Inkoom joined Bulgarian club FC Vereya.[18] He made his debut for the team in match against Ludogorets Razgrad for the Bulgarian First League on 26 February 2017.[19] He left the team in June when his contract expired.[20] On 23 June 2017, the Bulgarian Football Union banned Inkoom for one year following a legal notice from FIFA that he had caused damages to a real estate worth 65 316 USD while he was playing for D.C. United.[21][22]


International career


Inkoom is a former member of the Black Satellites. He played with the team at 2009 African Youth Championship in Rwanda.[23] The team emerged the winner at that tournament,[24] he was part of the satellite side that beat Brazil in a penalty shoot out to annex the cup for Africa and Ghana for the first time in the under 20 tournament in 2009. Inkoom played his first game for the senior side, the Black Stars, on 20 November 2008 against Tunisia.[25]

In April 2015, it was revealed that Inkoom was sued by the landlord of the property he rented in the United States whilst playing with D.C. United for destroying the property and not paying rent.[29]
