Club career

In September 2002 he was priced as the most expensive player in the Sierra Leone National Premier League.[1] He first came to Sarajevo where he signed FK Željezničar Sarajevo in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina but was loaned to another Bosnian club, NK Bosna Visoko playing with them in the first half of the second level, the 2003–04 First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina season. During winter-break, he moved to Belgrade where he played in the First League of Serbia and Montenegro club FK Čukarički. The following winter break, he was loaned to a third-level Serbian League East club FK Rudar Kostolac to get more chances to play.[2] Next season he moved to Sweden to play with Reymersholms IK. He would later also play with Swedish clubs Älvsjö AIK and Konyaspor KIF.[3]
