Appiah made his professional debut for Nottingham Forest on 30 October 2018, appearing as an 85th-minute substitute and scoring a goal in a 3–2 loss in a fourth round EFL Cup game against Burton Albion.[3]

On 23 January 2019, Appiah penned a four-and-a-half-year contract extension with Forest.[4]

Almería

[edit | edit source]

On 2 September 2019 Appiah signed for Spanish Segunda División side Almería on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £8 million.[5][6][7]

On 1 February 2021, Appiah moved to fellow second division team CD Lugo, on a loan deal until the end of the season.[8] Upon returning, he was mainly a backup option as the Rojiblancos achieved promotion to La Liga as champions.

On 1 September 2022, Appiah was loaned to CD Tenerife in the second level for the season.[9] On 30 December, however, his loan was cut short,[10] and he moved to fellow second tier side Málaga CF on 9 January, also in a temporary deal.[11]

On 25 August 2023, Appiah returned to England when he joined Championship club Rotherham United on a season-long loan deal.[12] On 30 July of the following year, he moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Nacional also on loan for one year.[13]

On 30 July 2025, Appiah switched teams and countries again after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Ligue 2 side Amiens.[14]

International career

In May 2018, Appiah scored for England U17 against Italy in the group stage of the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[15] The hosts were eliminated by the Netherlands at the semi-final stage on a penalty shootout with Appiah successfully converting his spot kick.[16]

In October 2018, Appiah scored for the England U18s against Sweden.[17] In March 2019, Appiah received his first call-up for the England U19s for the 2019 U19 EURO Elite Qualifying Round[18] and made his U19 debut as a 66th minute substitute during the 4–1 win over Czech Republic at St. George's Park.[19]
