James Bissue (born 16 June 1991 in Sekondi-Takoradi) is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ococias Kyoto.
Bissue began his career with Young Wages F.C. before transferring to Eleven Wise in 2006. On 4 January 2009 he went on a 2-week trial with Blackburn Rovers F.C. of the English Premier League.[1] He moved to Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. in December 2009, from Eleven Wise of the Ghanaian Premiership.[2] Bissue scored 13 goals in 16 matches for Eleven Wise during the 2013-2014 Division 1 season.[3]
On September 18, 2014, Bissue signed a 3-year contract with the Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer. He was training with Ghanaian champions Asante Kotoko but left to sign with the Canadian club.[4] He was released at the end of the season without making a first-team appearance.[5] [6] One Ghanaian source indicated that complications with paperwork prevented the player from appearing for the club.[7] After being released by Montreal, Bissue returned to his native Ghana but failed to secure a contract with a top-flight club. In December 2015, Bissue had been training with Ghana Premier League club Sekondi Hasaacas for three weeks while in discussion over a contract. The club saw him as a potential replacement for Theophilus Nyame who left the club for Asante Kotoko.[8]
Despite training with Hasaacas, it was announced that Bissue had signed a 2-year contract with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the United Soccer League for the 2016 USL season.[9] The move was officially announced on 11 February 2016.[10]
Bissue made five appearances for the Ghana U20 team at the 2011 African Youth Championship in South Africa. Bissue was also part of the Under-17 team.[5]
