Career
Time in Ghana
Haruna started his career at Tudu Mighty Jets' academy.[2] Later, Haruna played for then Wa All Stars now Legon Cities FC. In 2019. he moved to Accra Great Olympics. He played 12 league matches in the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League season before the league was put on hold and later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
Raufoss
In early 2023, after a week-long trial spell, Haruna was signed by Norwegian side Raufoss, on a two-year contract.[2]
Sogndal
After a year-and-a-half at Raufoss, Haruna was signed by fellow Norwegian First Division side Sogndal. The deal included a loan back to Raufoss for the rest of the 2024 season, before Haruna would join up with the rest of the Sogndal squad before the start of the 2025 season.[4]
In August 2025, after thirteen league games for Sogndal, Haruna was once again loaned out, this time to struggling Skeid, on a loan that ran through the rest of the season.[5]
International career
In early 2021, Haruna was picked as one of several Accra Great Olympics players to train with the Ghana national team ahead of their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification games against São Tomé and Príncipe and South Africa, although he ultimately did not play either of the games.[6]
