Club Career

Early career

In October 2016, aged 13, whilst Baah was at Crystal Palace, he caused controversy as a ball boy in a match against fellow London rivals West Ham United when he tried to stop the opponents time wasting by placing the ball in the six yard area for the goalkeeper Adrian. Baah was released by Crystal Palace at 14. He has credited that moment as a turning point in his development, admitting he didn't take many things seriously and knew he needed to change.

Baah played one game for Whyteleafe in August 2019, who were managed by Kinetic Academy founder Harry Hudson. He also had a trial with Fulham.

Rochdale

On 20 September 2019, at the age of 16, Baah signed to a scholarship contract at Rochdale. Baah made his first team league debut for Rochdale on 1 October, appearing as an 82nd minute substitute for Aaron Wilbraham in an EFL Trophy match at home to Bolton Wanderers.

He scored his first professional goal in a 5–0 win at Wigan Athletic on 15 December 2020. In February 2021, Baah was named EFL Young Player of the Month for January.

Watford

On 1 February 2021, he was close to signing a pre-contract agreement with Manchester City, however the deal collapsed. Having undergone a medical with Watford at the end of April and a fee of £125k agreed, he officially joined the club on 17 May ahead of their return to the Premier League.
