England

Malaysia

Cleared to represent Sarawak FA in competitions in 2003, Sarpong debuted in a league encounter with Pahang FA[6] but had a proclivity for fouling, picking up five yellow cards his first five appearances with coach Jalil Ramli telling him to "take it easy".[7] He then suffered a thigh injury and had to pass a fitness test[8] before returning in time for the encounter with Perlis FA.[9] However, the Ghanaian made a few costly errors in the first leg of the Malaysia Cup quarter-final which allowed Perak FA to win 2–0,[10] causing him to be benched in the second leg[11] before leaving by November.[12]
