However, it was the 2020/21 season that propelled Peprah into the spotlight. His impressive tally of 12 goals not only earned him the title of top-scorer for his club but also positioned him as the second highest goal-scorer in the league. This success earned him a move to Orlando Pirates in 2021, where he continued to make an impact.
Peprah’s time with Orlando Pirates was transformative. In his debut season, he demonstrated his prowess by netting seven goals and subsequently being named the Pirates’ Player of the Season. His impressive performance also led to his nomination for the DStv Premiership Young Player of the Season award.
Before landing with Kerala Blasters, Peprah underwent loan spells with Maritzburg Utd. in the DStv Premiership and Hapoel Hadera in the Ligat ha’Al. These experiences have contributed to his development as a versatile and dynamic striker
“Kwame is an important addition to our squad. His physical attributes and footballing skills make him a big asset for our team. A young, versatile, & fast-footed striker, I believe Kwame will pose a constant threat to the Hero ISL defences and help our team fight for the highest targets,”
-Karolis Skinkys, Kerala Blasters Sporting Director, said.
