His first season in the United States concluded with no goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions.[31]
In his second season with Columbus, which was the first season under new manager Wilfried Nancy, Yeboah took on a new role as a left wingback in a 3–4–3 formation. He began the year as a substitute but scored his first goal coming off the bench for the Crew in a 4–0 victory against Real Salt Lake on 1 April 2023.[32] An ACL injury to Will Sands opened the door for Yeboah to become the full-time starter.
