He made his first start of the 2020–21 season, during the opening match of the season in the process playing the full time as Dwarfs drew 2–2 against their rivals Elmina Sharks.[4] His standout performance for the club came in June 2021, after helping Ebusua Dwarfs to clean sheets and victories over Aduana Stars and International Allies.[1] In both matches, he was adjudged the man of the match. He also made two assists in matches that month.[1] For his stellar performances he was nominated for the GPL NASCO Player of the Month for June,[5][6] which was later won by Augustine Boakye.[7] At the end of the season, he started 28 of 29 league matches he played.[2]
