Poli Ejido

He was promoted to the first team for 2010–11, with the Andalusians in the Segunda División.

Journeyman

Razak alternated between the second and third tier of Spanish football in the following years, representing CD Tenerife, CD Guadalajara, Córdoba CF B and CD Mirandés. On 29 July 2015 he returned to Córdoba, now being assigned to the main squad also in division two.

Razak earned the first of his 27 caps for Ghana on 14 August 2013, appearing in a 2–2 friendly draw in Turkey as a 46th-minute substitute. He was part of the squad that appeared in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, being first choice as the nation reached the final; in the decisive match, against the Ivory Coast, he missed his penalty shootout attempt in an eventual 9–8 loss. Razak also started in the 2017 edition, a fourth-place finish in Gabon. Following criticism of his performances, he posted a video on Facebook that was perceived as disrespectful towards his compatriots, and was handed a $2,500 fine by the Ghana Football Association.

International

Razak fathered son Nasser and daughter Atu, referring to them as being his ''biggest idols and his life''. He idolised Ghanaian international goalkeeper Sammy Adjei, who won many laurels whilst playing for Accra Hearts of Oak S.C. and was also remembered for the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship quarter-final tie against Spain. On 28 June 2023, Razak married his longtime girlfriend (also the mother of his children) in Spain.
