Club career

[edit]

Born in Nsapor, Brong-Ahafo Region,[1] Obeng moved to Gurb, Barcelona, Catalonia at the age of ten.[2] After finishing his formation with Getafe CF, he made his senior debut with Girona FC B in the regional leagues, in 2016.

In 2017, Obeng was loaned to Tercera División side EC Granollers for one year. On 5 August of the following year, he signed for Segunda División B side CD Calahorra after a trial period.[3]

In March 2019, Obeng agreed a pre-contract with Real Oviedo, effective as of 1 July; he was initially assigned to the reserves in the third division.[4] He made his first-team debut on 18 August: after coming on as a second-half substitute for Edu Cortina, he scored his team's second in a 2–3 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División.[5]

On 16 August 2020, Obeng renewed his contract until 2023 and was definitely promoted to the main squad.[6] In January 2023, he moved to fellow second division side SD Huesca on loan until the end of the season;[7] his loan was extended for another year on 20 July.[8]

On 7 August 2024, Obeng terminated his link with the Carbayones,[9] and joined Portuguese side Casa Pia AC two days later.[10]
