In January 2009, he went on a 2-week trial with Blackburn Rovers F.C. but could not secure a deal. He, however, completed a move to Europe by signing with Israeli side, Hapoel Be'er Sheva FC in December 2009.

He returned to the Ghana Premier League and made 15 appearances for Hearts of Oak in the 2012/2013 season.

His journey of finding a home sent him trialing with Asante Kotoko before a stint with Canadian side Montreal Impact where he did play a single game.

After a few more stints in the US and DR Congo, Bissue returned home to Eleven Wise before making a permanent move to Elmina Sharks in 2019.
