Career
Born in Freetown, Simbo started his career playing for Mighty Blackpool in his home country.[1] In 2009, he went to Norway to play for third division side Raufoss. While at the Norwegian club, he sought political asylum in the country using the name Mohamed Sesay. After his successful first season in Norway, he was signed by second division club Sogndal; however, because his asylum request was denied due to him using two different names, he was unable to return to Norway to play for them.[2]
Simbo returned to Sierra Leone to play for Mighty Blackpool. In 2011, he went on loan to Swedish third-tier club Motala for the first half of the season,[3] and then Allsvenskan club Trelleborg for the second half of the season.[4]
He spent the 2012 season with Boden.[5]
In 2013 he signed for Sandviken.[6]
He made his international debut for Sierra Leone in 2010.[7]
