He was the captain of the Club in the late 1970s and early 1980s and played a key role in Asante Kotoko’s history. Papa Arko also represented Ghana in two (2) Cup of Nations tournaments.

As Captain, he led Kotoko to victory in the 1983 CAF Champions League and was a member of the team that placed second in the 1982 Africa Cup of Champions Clubs following a defeat to Egyptian giants Al Ahly.
