Leyton Orient Saah was born in
Hornchurch, London. There was also speculation that
Premier League club
Tottenham Hotspur had offered £2 million for the defender, after scouts had been sent to see him action. However, Orient manager
Martin Ling rubbished the story saying the offer would have been accepted, but still claimed that Saah was the best defender outside the
Championship. In August 2009, Saah dropped into the non-league game, re-uniting with former Orient boss Martin Ling at
Conference Premier team
Cambridge United. He started in all of the U's first seventeen league games, scoring twice before a double hernia operation in November kept him out of action for six weeks. In May 2010, he signed a new two-year contract extension after in impressive first season where he made 33 league appearances and came runner-up in the Internet Player of the Year awards. He was also made club captain, taking some off-field responsibilities away from team captain
Paul Carden. In January 2011, Saah found himself playing in a defensive midfield role which coincided with two back-to-back away victories. In total, Saah made eighty appearances for Cambridge scoring eight times.
Torquay United In July 2011, Saah signed for
League Two club
Torquay United reuniting again with Martin Ling, despite him having a year to run on his Cambridge contract. The club didn't want him to leave, but he didn't fit into the new wage structure that the club adopted as they had to slash the playing budget by twenty-five per cent. Saah again remained a first team regular with Torquay during his second season with the club making 46 appearances, but rejected the offer of a new contract and chose to leave the Gulls in the summer of 2013. He stated that he wanted to find a club nearer his family home in London as his son was starting school. In his first season with the club he forged a strong partnership with
Scott Doe as the Daggers finished in the top half narrowly avoiding the play-offs. Featuring 48 times for the club, he was also named as runner-up in the Player of the Year awards. On 24 March 2015, Saah made his Woking debut in a 3–2 victory over
Torquay United, in which he played the full 90 minutes. On 1 August 2015, upon his release from Dagenham & Redbridge, Saah re-joined Woking on a permanent deal after his previous successful loan spell at the club. On 12 September 2015, Saah scored his first Woking goal in a 4–4 draw with
Guiseley, in which he scored just before the half time break. On 12 December 2015, Saah netted in Woking's
FA Trophy triumph over
Boreham Wood, in which he got the equalizer before Giuseppe Sole got the winner in the remaining seconds of the fixture. On 23 June 2016, Saah signed a new one-year deal at Woking, therefore keeping him at the club for the forthcoming season. On the opening day of the
2016–17 campaign, Saah played the full 90 minutes in Woking's 3–1 home defeat to
Lincoln City. On 14 January 2017, Saah scored his first goal of the 2016–17 campaign, in Woking's 2–1 away victory against
Torquay United. Netting the Cards' second in the 36th minute after teammate, Fabio Saraiva had given the
Surrey-based side the lead inside the opening ten minutes. On 23 May 2017, it was announced that Saah would leave Woking upon the expiry of his current deal in June 2017. ==International career==
