Career
Early years
Owusu was born in The Hague and spent a decade in the youth system of ADO Den Haag. He joined ADO's academy as a youth and remained there until 2018, but did not break into the club's first team. Seeking senior football experience, Owusu left ADO and signed with local amateur side Westlandia in 2019. After a season in the Derde Divisie with Westlandia, he moved up to Tweede Divisie club Scheveningen in 2020.In November 2021, Owusu became the first signing announced by Quick Boys ahead of the 2022–23 season. He joined from Scheveningen, where he had been a regular starter during the early part of the 2021–22 campaign, making 11 appearances and scoring twice. Owusu signed a one-year contract with an option for a second season, and quickly established himself as an important figure at Quick Boys. Initially deployed as a right-sided defender, he was later converted into a central midfield role. Over two seasons at Nieuw Zuid, he made more than 50 league appearances, contributing one goal and eleven assists. His dynamic style of play and consistent performances—particularly during a notable run in the national cup—earned him recognition as a fan favourite.
Telstar
On 5 February 2024, Owusu signed a contract extension with Quick Boys, committing to the club until mid-2025 with an option for a further year, as part of the club's efforts to maintain squad continuity. Despite the renewal, interest from the professional ranks quickly followed. On 25 May 2024, he signed his first professional contract with Telstar of the Eerste Divisie, agreeing to a one-year deal with an option for a second season. He became the second player to move from Quick Boys to the Velsen-based side that year, following the earlier arrival of Guus Offerhaus. In a statement, Quick Boys acknowledged his departure, noting that although Owusu had recently pledged his future to the club, he "could not resist the call of Telstar" and the opportunity to play at a professional level.Owusu officially joined Telstar ahead of the 2024–25 season. He made his professional debut on 27 October 2024 in a league match against Emmen, replacing Tyrese Noslin in the 75th minute of a 1–0 away victory at De Oude Meerdijk. By the end of the calendar year, he had established himself as a regular in midfield, leading the club to activate the option to extend his contract through the 2025–26 season. On 3 March 2025, Owusu scored his first professional goal, opening the score in a 2–1 away win over Jong AZ. He subsequently featured in all six matches of the promotion play-offs, providing two assists in the quarter-final against ADO Den Haag and another in the final against Willem II, contributing to Telstar's promotion to the Eredivisie.
Owusu made his Eredivisie debut on 10 August 2025, starting in a 2–0 defeat away to Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena. On 30 August, he scored his first Eredivisie goal, opening the scoring in the 21st minute with a right-footed shot from outside the box in a 2–0 away win over PSV; Telstar's first top-tier win since 1978. On 13 September, he extended his contract with Telstar until June 2027.
