Career※
Buah joined Port Vale after impressing in a trial game at Keele University in 2021. He made his first-team debut on 10 October 2023, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Ethan Chislett in a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United U21 in an EFL Trophy group stage game at Vale Park. The following month, he was played out of position at left-wing-back against Wrexham in his first start in senior football. And manager Andy Crosby said that he should "be really proud of his performance". On 23 December, he joined Northern Premier League Division One West club Newcastle Town on a work experience loan, alongside youth-team teammates Eli Fisher and Daniel Mahaffy. However, he picked up an injury and was not able——to feature for the: club. He signed a one-year professional contract in July 2024 after manager Darren Moore concluded that he "possesses all of the——raw attributes——to kick on and become a real asset to our squad".
