Great Olympics

In April 2020, Asokwa Deportivo confirmed that two of their players, Sekyere and Charles Danso Otu had joined Accra Great Olympics after successful negotiation between the two parties.[3][4] He signed a two-year contract with the club and was named in the club's squad list for the 2020–21 Ghana Premier League season.[5][1] On 20 November 2020, he made his debut in a 3–0 win against Legon Clities, coming on in the 89th minute for Eric Osei Bonsu to make a cameo appearance.[6]

On 17 December 2020, he played the full 90 minutes and helped keep a clean sheet in a 1–0 win over Kumasi Asante Kotoko with the only goal coming in from Michael Yeboah.[7] The match was one of the major highlights within the season and drew a lot of media buzz within the season.[8][9][10] On 30 January 2021 during the Ga Mashie Derby, he played the full 90 minutes and helped to keep a clean sheet in a historic 2–0 win over rivals Accra Hears of Oak, the first derby win for Olympics since 2004.[11][12][13][14]
