Career
Mensah transferred to El-Ahly in the 2005–04 season from El-Masry for a speculated record fee for the Egyptian League back at the time.[1] In his debut match, which happened to be in the opening match of the group phase of the African Champions League against Enyimba in Nigeria, Akwetey suffered a tear in his knee ligaments without being touched by any player, only six minutes into the game and this kept him out of action for the rest of the season. In the next season, he played some games and came in as a sub. He only started in two or three games and couldn't get the attention of the coach Manuel José as he didn't get back in form. He was linked with a possible transfer back to El-Masry as of January 2007 and with Al Ahli Dubai.[2]
On 27 May 2009, it was announced that he had joined Belgian club Lierse.[3]
