Club career

Starting his career in Mighty Barrolle, following good performens in both the club, being voted most valued player of the season in 2007, and the Liberia under-20, becoming team captain, he drew the interest from several clubs, such as A.C. Siena and Portland Timbers,[2] however following a trial with Allsvenska club IF Elfsborg, he decided to sign for the Swedish team.[3] Spending the 2009 season in the U-21 team he was eventually rais to the senior team prior to the 2010 season.

On 22 March 2011 he was loaned out to Allsvenska rivals GAIS,[4] following a severe injury on fellow Elfsborg player Mohammed Abdulrahman who was on loan to GAIS.[5]

On 1 July he signed with the Swedish Superettan club Degerfors IF, a contract that will expire at the end of the 2011 season.[6]
