Club career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Born on 4 April 1995, in the city of Accra, Ghana, Daniel Adade started playing football on the Saturn F.C. (Ghana) team, where in 2007 and 2008 he played in the second division.[1][2]

In 2008, he left Saturn and went to play the second division for Accra Ranger, where he remained until 2010. In 2010, he signed a contract with Istanbul F.C., where he stayed until 2014, when he was loaned to Bochum-Linden.[3][4]

Dreams F.C.[edit]

In 2016, Adade signed a contract with Dreams and debuted in the Ghana Premier League (first division of Ghana).[4][5][1]

East Timor[edit]

In 2016, Adade left the African continent and went to venture into Southeast Asia.[1][6]

The first Timorese club in which Adade served was Zebra from the city of Baucau, and also played for Karketu Dili, where he had a quick passage between 2016 and 2017.[7] In 2018 he returned to his country to defend the colors of Dreams, with whom he still had contractual ties.[1]

He returned to Timor to compete for the Liga Futebol Amadora by the Assalam team. His style of playing and scoring goals drew the attention of the other Timorese teams.[8][1]

His style of playing and scoring goals helped the Assalam to win the 2018 LFA Segunda title and get promoted to Liga Futebol Amadora Primeira Divisão.[9][10][1]

In 2020, he joined Lalenok United to compete as the club sought to bolster their squad ahead of their 2020 AFC Cup campaign.[11][10][1][12]

International career[edit]

In 2015, he was shortlisted to play for his country's national team in the under-20 world cup in New Zealand, but ended up suffering an injury and was cut.[13][14]
