Afriyie officially joined Swiss side Zürich in January 2023, for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until June 2026 with the club but will be leaving after two-and-a-half years. The 24-year-old's registration was set to be completed after his participation in the 2022 African Nations Championship in Algeria.
A statement from the club read: “FC Zürich announces that Ghanaian striker Daniel Afriyie is leaving the city-based club. His contract has been terminated by mutual consent.

Afriyie had a glittering career with Ghana giants Hearts of Oak, leading them to five trophies – the Premier League, two FA Cups, one Super Cup and the President’s Cup while producing 13 goals and 4 assists in 69 appearances in the Ghana Premier League and CAF club competition.
