Club career
Randers FC
Following a successful trial,[2] Isah joined Randers FC from HB Academy in Abuja in July 2022. The 18-year old winger signed a three-year deal with Randers.[3]
In his first six months in Randers, Isah mainly played for the U19s, while making the bench for a few Danish Superliga games during the months. He got his official debut for the club in the Danish Cup against Vendsyssel FF on 20 October 2022, playing the last 12 minutes off the bench.[4] In February 2023, Isah went with the first team squad on training camp in Turkey.[5] Later on same month, on 26 February, Isah got his Danish Superliga debut against Lyngby Boldklub.[6]
Ahead of the 2023-24 season, Isah was permanently promoted to the first team squad.
Loan at IK Start
On July 24, 2024, it was confirmed that Isah had been loaned out to Norwegian First Division club IK Start for the rest of the year with an option to buy.[7] After a good stay with six games and an assist in 12 games, IK Start negotiated with Randers to keep Isah after the end of the loan spell.[8][9] As the clubs could not agree and the option had expired, Start's sports director confirmed on January 12, 2025 that Isah would return to Randers.[10]
Kristiansund BK
On January 26, 2025, it was confirmed that Isah would continue in Norway after all, but instead at Eliteserien side Kristiansund BK, where he had signed a deal until the end of 2028.
