Club career

Mohamed was born in Tamale.[1] He began his career in 2004 (?). He played for King Faisal Babes in Kumasi, helping the club to play well in the CAF Confederation Cup 2005. He also earned the MVP Award in the quarterfinals. In 2006, Mohamed had trial sessions abroad in Germany and Israel.

After the 2006 World Cup, Mohamed was loaned out to Norwegian club Molde FK, with an option to buy him. He did not play any matches for the club in Tippeligaen, and returned after the 2006 season.[2]

On 25 June 2007, BBC and the Turkish media reported that the 23-year-old has sealed a two-year deal with the Turkish club Ankaragücü after passing a medical test. He was expected to bolster the club's defensive punch next season after sealing the move from local side King Faisal Babes.[3] He was loaned out for six months to Ankaragücü before returning to Ghana in November to Kumasi-based club Asante Kotoko. On 4 January 2008, he moved from Asante Kotoko to All Stars F.C. in a permanent move.[4] He joined to Accra Great Olympics in May and five months later Ashanti Gold S.C.. On 19 May 2011, he signed for Globacom Premier League side Bechem Chelsea in Berekum.[5]

International career

Mohamed was considered an established member of the national team the Black Stars, and was called up to the 2006 World Cup but lost his place after the World Cup.

At the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany he played with the team two games (180 Minutes), before he passed after injury.
