Her football journey began at 1. FC Lübars, where she featured for the B-Junior team in the 2014-2015 B-Juniorinnen-Bundesliga season.

In 16 appearances, she found the net twice, signalling her potential as a promising attacker.

Josephine called up to Black Queens

Her performances in Germany’s top flight eventually drew interest from Nora Häuptle, then head coach of the Black Queens, last year.

Determined to bolster Ghana’s attack, Häuptle travelled to observe Bonsu firsthand, hoping to convince her to commit to the national team, per Ghanasoccernet.

The approach proved successful, and the winger has now been drafted into the squad for Ghana’s friendly against Morocco on February 21—a key preparatory fixture ahead of the 2025 African Women's Cup of Nations.

Club form and expectations

So far this campaign, the Carl Zeiss Jena attacker has featured 14 times in the Frauen-Bundesliga, providing one assist but still searching for her first goal, per Playmakerstats.
