Club career
Fuseini, he moved from the Ghanaian club Right to Dream Academy to Austria to join SK Sturm Graz in February 2022, where he joined the reserves side.[2][3] In his first season he made 14 appearances in the Regionalliga Mitte for Sturm II at end of the 2021–22 season.[4] At the end of the season SK Strum Graz II were crowned champions in the second division.
Ahead of the 2022–23 season, he was promoted to the senior squad. In July 2022, however, he made his first match of the season in the second division when he was named in the starting eleven against Horn on the first day of that season. Even though Strum II lost by 2–1, Fuseini scored Grazer's goal.
He made his first team debut in the UEFA Champions League in a 2–1 home loss to Dynamo Kyiv, coming on in the 102 minute of extra time for Jon Gorenc Stanković.[5][6]
On 13 August 2022, he scored his second goal of the season, in Sturm Graz II 5–2 victory over SKN St. Pölten in the Austrian 2. Liga.[7]
On 29 November 2022, Fuseini extended his contract with Sturm Graz until 2026.[8]
On 28 January 2024, Fuseini joined Randers in Denmark on loan with an option to buy.[9] After a fantastic loan spell in Randers, where he scored 9 goals and 1 assist in 16 games, Randers made a persistent attempt to buy Fuseini free, but without success. Therefore, Fuseini returned to Sturm Graz, who had received a lot of interest from foreign clubs after Fuseini's good season in Randers.[10][11]
While away, Sturm Graz won the Australian Bundesliga title. Fuseini picked up a league winners' medal for playing 11 Bundesliga games.
Fuseini joined Belgian Pro League club Union Saint-Gilloise on a permanent three-year deal in July 2024, contributing nine league goals as a regular starter and substitute as Union claimed their first league title since 1935.[12][13]
