Yaw Antwi first started his career in Egypt through Ismaily in late 2012. He later moved to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Shabab FC, before returning to Egypt joining Cairo giants Al Ahly.

However, the forward’s spell with the Red Devils did not work well and he was loaned twice to Misr El Makkasa, then the club decided to activate their option to buy the player and made the deal permanent in July 2018.
