Career

He signed for NAC Breda on an 18-month loan on 1 February 2015.{{cite web|title=Ghanese versterking voor NAC |url=http://www.nac.nl/p108l1/newsid/9793/Ghanese-versterking-voor-NAC.html |website=nac.nl/ |publisher=NAC Breda |accessdate=2 February 2015 |language=Dutch |date=1 February 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402114946/http://www.nac.nl/p108l1/newsid/9793/Ghanese-versterking-voor-NAC.html |archivedate=2 April 2015 }} He scored his first goal for the club on 25 May 2015, dribbling past 2 defenders before placing the ball in the net.
