Club career

Ansah was born in Ghana. He moved to F.C. Dallas during the 2010 transfer window from the Nigerian CAF Champions League runners up Heartland F.C.[2] He was released from the F.C. Dallas less than two months later in February 2010, having only played preseason matches.[3]

International career

Ansah first played international football for Ghana as a midfielder at the 1997 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Egypt, where Ghana were the losing finalist to Brazil.[4] He later went on to receive nine full international caps and was part of Ghana's squad at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, but subsequently missed out on a place in the squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
