Early life.
Yeboah was born in Yirrkala in Northern Territory, Australia to a Ghanaian father and Australian mother. He attended Varsity College on the Gold Coast and began playing junior football at the age of seven. He learned Capoeira in his younger years and often celebrated a goal in football with a back flip. He was offered a scholarship with the Queensland Academy of Sport in 2009 and spent several years with the team before Gold Coast United showed interest.

Six days later, Yeboah made his home debut in Brisbane's convincing 4–0 win against Sydney FC. He started the first four games of the 2013–14 season before Mike Mulvey relegated the young striker to the bench for the fifth-round game against 2012–13 champions Central Coast Mariners due to indifferent form.
