Owusu began his career in the Ghanaian Second Division with FC Medeama, before signing with First Division club Tarkwa Real United in 2008. In 2009, he moved to Kessben where he played in the Glo Premier League. Kessben's playing license was bought by Tarkwa-based Medeama SC in December 2010,[http://www.ghanamma.com/2011/01/09/kessben-fc-re-named-medeama-sporting-club/ Kessben FC renamed Medeama Sporting Club] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711092157/http://www.ghanamma.com/2011/01/09/kessben-fc-re-named-medeama-sporting-club/ |date=2011-07-11 }} and Owusu's rights were transferred to the new club.

Following an unsuccessful trial with Polish side Legia Warszawa, Owusu moved to the United States in 2011, signing a one-year contract with Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.[http://ghanasoccernet.com/2011/02/medeama-loan-seth-owusu-to-chivas-usa/ Medeama loan Seth Owusu to Chivas USA] He made his debut for Chivas on March 29, 2011, in a Lamar Hunt US Open Cup game against the Portland Timbers.{{Cite web |url=http://portlandtimbers.com/news/2011/03/portland-drop-chivas-usa-us-open-cup-play |title=Portland drop Chivas USA in US Open Cup play |access-date=2011-03-30 |archive-date=2011-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110402040743/http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news/2011/03/portland-drop-chivas-usa-us-open-cup-play |url-status=dead }}
