Club career

Born in Wa, Addae began his career with Wa All Stars.[3] In November 2009, it was announced that he would be moving to Italian club Parma in the summer of 2010, after signing a four-year contract.[4] In January 2011, he was loaned to Spanish club Terrassa until the end of the 2010–11 season,[5] as Parma ran out of non-EU registration quota for signing players from abroad. In August 2011 his contract was finally registered in Lega Serie A. Addae moved on loan to Crotone in July 2012.[6][7]

He signed on loan for Slovenian club Gorica on 1 July 2013.[8][9] On the same day Gorica also signed Daniele Bazzoffia, Uroš Celcer, Massimo Coda, Alex Cordaz, Sebestyén Ihrig-Farkas, Alen Jogan, Gianluca Lapadula, Floriano Vanzo and Fabio Lebran (Crotone/Parma) in temporary deal from Parma.

On 31 January 2014, he was signed by Gubbio along with Alessandro Gozzi.[10]

On 17 July 2014, Addae was signed by Lega Pro club Ascoli in a definitive deal on a 2+1 year contract.[11] Addae and the club confirmed the optional third year on 30 August 2015.[12] On 2 May 2017, he signed a new two-year contract.[13]

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Addae joined Juve Stabia in Serie B on a two-year contract.[14]

On 10 September 2020 he moved to Romania and signed with Hermannstadt.[15]

International career

Addae made three appearances at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup,[16] and made his senior international debut for Ghana in 2010.[3]
