In the 2011 summer transfer window, Issah signed for Norwegian club Rosenborg BK.[7]

On 25 January 2013, Issah joined Greek Super League club Veria F.C. on a 1.5-year loan contract.[8] After half a season, the loan was terminated.[9]

On 1 August 2013, Issah re-joined AmaZulu after almost five years in European football while AmaZulu agreed a transfer deal with Rosenborg.[10] In February 2014, the club reported him to the South African Football Association claiming he had disappeared.[11] Two months later, Issah was fined $170,000 for going absent and received a four-month playing ban.[12][13]
