*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Agyemang began his career at Wimbledon, progressing through the club's youth system. He was loaned out to Brentford in October 1999 for three months, before returning to his parent club. Agyemang played regularly for Wimbledon, making 137 appearances and scoring 22 goals over the next four seasons. With Wimbledon struggling financially, he was sold to First Division club Gillingham in January 2004, spending ten months with the club before signing for Preston North End in November 2004 for a fee of £350,000. He spent four seasons at Preston, scoring 21 times in 135 appearances, before joining Queens Park Rangers in 2008. Agyemang was part of the QPR team that earned promotion to the Premier League during the 2010–11 season. During the 2011–12 season, he joined Championship club Millwall and made two appearances there during a one-month loan agreement.
Agyemang was loaned out for a second time in January 2012, this time joining Stevenage of League One until the end of the 2011–12 season. The loan was made permanent in August 2012 and Agyemang scored once in 31 games during his time at Stevenage. In February 2013, he joined League One club Portsmouth on loan for the rest of the season. He signed for the club permanently in May 2013, and during his two-year spell there scored eight times in 69 matches, whilst also being loaned to Dagenham & Redbridge. He retired from playing in the summer of 2015, although he briefly played for non-League Baffins Milton Rovers and Cray Valley Paper Mills. Born in England, Agyemang qualified to play for the Ghana national team through his ancestry, earning two caps and scoring one goal.
