Club career

Born in Accra, Awudu joined Medeama SC ahead of the 2018 season from lower side Konogo Shooting Stars.[1] He made his first team debut on 25 March 2018, playing the last five minutes of a 2–0 away loss against Bechem United FC.

Awudu scored his first professional goal on 3 May 2018, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Ebusua Dwarfs FC. On 13 August 2019, he renewed his contract with the club until 2023.[2]

On 13 January 2020, Awudu moved abroad and agreed to a loan deal with Spanish Tercera División side Fútbol Alcobendas Sport until the end of the season.[3] On 12 September, after a trial period,[4] he joined CF Fuenlabrada also in a temporary deal, and was initially assigned to the reserves in the regional leagues.[1]

Awudu made his first team debut for Fuenla on 13 September 2020, starting and scoring the opener in a 2–0 Segunda División home win against CD Lugo.[5] The following 1 February, after being sparingly used, he cut short his loan and moved to Segunda División B side CD Badajoz.[6]
