The club let him go in 2022 because of problems with his heart. In January, he started playing for the Albanian team KF Egnatia.
In 9 years, he played for 9 teams, including Levante, Real Zaragoza, Red Bull Salzburg, and FC Zurich.
Raphael Dwamena started playing for the Black Stars in 2017, but had to stop because of his heart problems. He played 9 games and scored 2 goals.
