Club career

Nordsjælland

Yirenkyi is a product of the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, which he joined in 2017 at the age of 11. He turned 18 in January 2024 and in March 2024 FC Nordsjælland confirmed that Yirenkyi became part of the club's academy and had just made his debut for the club's U-19 team.[1][2][3]

In the summer of 2024, Yirenkyi attended a training camp with the Nordsjælland first team squad.[4][5][6] From here Yirenkyi started training more with the first team.

Yirenkyi sat on the bench in Nordsjælland's first two matches in the 2024-25 Danish Superliga.[7][8] His debut, however, came on September 20, 2024, when he replaced Peter Ankersen in the 85th minute in a match against Viborg FF.[9][10]
