Lamin Suma made his Serbian SuperLiga debut on March 31, 2012, as a substitute in a 21 round match visiting FK Vojvodina, a 0-0 draw.[5] He made a total of 3 appearances in the 2011–12 Serbian SuperLiga. In August 2012 he agreed to a loan to Montenegrin First League side FK Jedinstvo Bijelo Polje where he played the 2012–13 season.[6][7]
In summer 2013 he moved to Estonia and joined top flight side FC Flora Tallinn.[8][9]
