Pappoe previously played for Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea & Colchester United. Pappoe missed the start of the 2011-2012 season with injuries, returning in early 2012, only to suffer another serious injury, where he was ruled out for the remainder of the season. He returned to action with the youth and reserve teams part-way through the 2012-2013 season, and featured in the semi-final and final of the 2012-2013 NextGen Series, where the Blues finished as runners-up to Aston Villa.

On 31 October 2013, Pappoe"s loan at Colchester was terminated due to his opportunities being limited. Following Pappoe"s unsuccessful loan spell at Colchester United, he joined Isthmian Premier League side Kingstonian on a one-month loan deal.
