Essam joined Legia Warsaw II in May 2013.[1] His contract was terminated in January 2014. In February it was announced that Essam was on trial for Finnish club FC Jazz.[2]
He has previously played for Wadi Degla FC in the Egyptian Premier League.[3] Essam has also been a member of the Egypt U20 squad.[4]
Later on, he went back to Egypt to join Ismaily SC and Al Nasr, before returning to Poland to play for Nadwiślan Góra, Stal Stalowa Wola and MKS Kluczbork. He later joined El-Entag El-Harby,[5] Górnik Łęczna and Arab Contractors. In January 2021, he transferred to Bank Al Ahly for a transfer fee worth 2,5mln EGP.[6]
Essam's show of skills in one of Bank Al Ahly's league matches angered the opponent Makkasa SC resulting in a controversial suspension imposed by his club and eventual free transfer to the Egyptian Premier League debutant Eastern Company. [7]
