He also won the Ghanaian FA Cup in 2016 after the team scored his former club Okwawu United in the final by 3–1 through a brace from Yaw Annor.[3][4] He secured a move to Sudanese club Al-Hilal Club in late 2016.[5] He won the Sudan Premier League during the 2017 season whilst playing with them.[6] He subsequently had spells in Ethiopia with Jimma Aba Buna and back again in Sudan with Al-Hilal El-Obeid.[5] After his spells in Sudan and Ethiopia, he moved to India and joined Real Kashmir and later TRAU.[7]

In May 2020, Tetteh joined Ghana Premier League side Accra Hearts of Oak on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal with the club.[8][7] He made his debut 29 November 2020, in a 1–0 loss to International Allies.[9] He started the match played 45 minutes before being substituted at halt time for Eric Dizan.[10] Tetteh won the double with Hearts in his debut season with the club, however he played a role as back up forward to Kwadwo Obeng Junior, Victor Aidoo and Isaac Mensah as he was limited to 5 league matches and 2 appearances[11][12] in the Ghanaian FA Cup as Hearts beat Ashanti Gold in the final via a penalty shootout.[13] The win made it his second time of winning the competition after winning with Bechem in 2016.[14]
