Up until now, his excellent countenance in football serves a great deal of inspiration to many in the league. On 3 April 2019, Yahaya along with Fatawu Abdulrahman scored a goal each to help Aduana to a 2–1 victory over Eleven Wonders.[4]
International career
As a versatile striker with several years of on-field experience, Yahaya was a crucial player in Ghana's U20 team that participated in the 2007 Toulon Tournament in France.[5] After playing well in his short stint with the Black Satellites, on 7 August 2007, Yahaya was called up by Claude Le Roy for a FIFA International friendly match against Senegal in the New Den Stadium in London, England on 21 August 2007.[6] Hard work and perseverance awarded him a wonderful opportunity yet again in Ghana's national squad that competed at the 2011 African Nations Championship.
