Club career
Youth career and Dinamo Zagreb II
A right back, Gyamfi began his youth career in his native Netherlands with RKVV Meerburg.[3] He moved to England in 2009 and had spells in the youth systems at London clubs Hanworth Sports and Brentford.[4] Gyamfi transferred to the Leicester City Academy at the age of 14 and progressed through the ranks.[3] At the end of the 2019–20 season, he turned down the offer of a three-year professional contract with Leicester City and became a free agent.[5] Gyamfi signed a 3+1⁄2-year contract with Croatian First League club Dinamo Zagreb on a free transfer in December 2020.[6][7] He made 26 Croatian Second League appearances and scored one goal for the reserve team prior to its disbandment at the end of the 2021–22 season.[8][9]
In July 2022, Gyamfi joined League One club Cheltenham Town on trial and made four pre-season friendly appearances, but was not offered a contract.[10] He failed to win a call into a Dinamo Zagreb matchday squad during the first half of the 2022–23 season and departed the Stadion Maksimir in January 2023.[8][11]
Den Bosch
Following a successful trial spell,[12][13] Gyamfi signed a 2+1⁄2-year contract with Eerste Divisie club Den Bosch on 31 January 2023.[11] He made 42 appearances over the course of poor 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons for the club.[8][14][15] Gyamfi's contract was terminated by mutual consent on 1 August 2024.[16]
Beerschot
On 18 March 2025, Gyamfi joined the U23 team at Beerschot on a contract running until the end of the 2024–25 season.[17] After the first team's relegation to the Challenger Pro League at the end of the 2024–25 season, Gyamfi was retained on a one-year contract,[18] with the option of a further year.[19] He made 26 appearances during the 2025–26 season,[8] which ended with defeat in the playoff semi-finals.[20] In March 2026, the club triggered its one-year option on Gyamfi's contract and he signed a new three-year contract in August 2026.[19][21]
International career
Gyamfi is eligible to play for Netherlands, Ghana and England at international level.[5] In November 2019, Gyamfi was named in the Netherlands U19 squad as a standby for two friendly matches.[22] He did not win a call into either matchday squad.[23][24]
