[edit] Club career
Touray began his footballing career with Real de Banjul F.C. in Gambia. In 2000 he moved to Stockholm in Sweden to play for Djurgårdens IF in the highest domestic league, Allsvenskan. Touray spent two respective loan spells with Assyriska FF[1] and Vålerenga IF[2] before returning to Djurgårdens IF following the sale of Swedish international goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson.
After Isaksson's departure, Touray was handed an extended run in the team, and since maintained his position as first-choice goalkeeper at the club. He was also rewarded with the club captaincy after several seasons of consistency and following the 2011 season was selected as the top goalkeeper in the Allsvenskan.[3] At the conclusion of the 2011 season, after a decade at Djurgårdens IF Touray left the club having appeared in 195 league matches.
