The flying winger lived in The Gambia until his mother died when he was eleven and he joined his father in Sweden. He was spotted playing for Osterunds by Swansea and was eased into English football gradually. Part of this procedure was to loan him to Championship clubs and following a spell with Nottingham Forest he came to Ewood. He signed a three months loan but was recalled to Swansea within 28 days when it became obvious he was not receiving opportunities with the Rovers. A success at Reading he turned his backon his international career when he did not answer his call up to the squad in 2019.
