Isaac Boakye (born November 26, 1981 in Kumasi ) is a former Ghanaian football player .
Career
society
Boakye started his career with Ghapoha Readers , an association from Tema in Ghana. Two years later he moved to Ashanti Gold SC . In the same year he completed a trial training at the Swedish club IFK Norrköping . However, he did not leave Ashanti Gold for Sweden, but played a year in Turkey with MKE Ankaragücü in its youth before moving to Asante Kotoko in Kumasi . There he also played his first professional games.
The center forward went hunting for goals in his hometown until 2003 before Arminia Bielefeld brought him into the 2nd Bundesliga. There he came to 26 games in his first season , in which he scored 14 goals, and was promoted to the 1st Bundesliga . After that he was often injured and only made ten appearances and two goals in 2004/2005 .
In summer 2006 Boakye moved to VfL Wolfsburg . The fee was 1.2 million euros; he received a three-year contract in Wolfsburg.
For the second half of the 2007/08 season Boakye switched to second division club 1. FSV Mainz 05 on loan . There he played 13 times, mostly as a substitute, and scored one goal. The contract included a purchase option, which was not drawn; Boakye then returned to Wolfsburg.
At the beginning of the 2008/09 season he moved to the 2nd Bundesliga for 1. FC Nürnberg . In the first two league games he played full time and scored one goal each. Because of his often stubborn manner, he remained controversial at the club despite six more goals. With his two goals in the first relegation game on May 28, 2009 in Cottbus, which the club won 3-0, he seemed a big step closer to a regular place.
The first half of the 2009/10 season was not very good for Boakye. From the beginning he had to struggle with groin problems and so the club loaned out another center forward with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on matchday five . The Ghanaian was only used five times in the first half of the season and shortly before the winter transfer window closed, the kicker reported about a possible return to Bielefeld, which did not materialize. It took him well into the second half of the season before he found the connection again. Choupo-Moting and the other offensive players kept their regular positions and so he only came to five shorter appearances as a substitute in the league and the relegation second leg. He didn't manage to score a goal of the season.
After Boakye was only a reservist in the first half of the 2010/11 season and only made two short appearances, he broke his contract with 1. FC Nürnberg on December 18, 2010 and moved to the Norwegian capital Oslo to Vålerenga IF in the Tippeliga .
Boakye has been without a club since August 2014.
National team
Boakye played in the national team of Ghana . He made his first big appearance during the Africa Cup in 2002 , when he secured a place in the quarter-finals as a substitute with two goals in the last two minutes of the game for the Ghana national team with a 2-1 win over Burkina Faso . However, Boakye was not considered at the 2006 African Cup of Nations and the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
On February 28, 2007, then national coach Claude Le Roy announced that Boakye would no longer play for Ghana. He had not played a game for the Black Stars since September 2005 .
