Mamadou Fofana (born 7 January 1988) is a French former footballer who played professionally in Sweden.[1][2]

Club career

[edit]

Fofana started his career in the lower divisions of France, before moving to Sweden to sign with Allsvenskan side Syrianska in 2011.[3] He made two appearances for the Södertälje-based side.[citation needed]

After leaving Sweden, Fofana moved to England to join Lincoln City on a short-term deal in August 2012. This deal was then extended in December 2012.[4] After continuing to impress, he signed a one-year deal in May 2013.[5]

In 2014, he signed for Conference North side Oxford City, where he made eighteen appearances.[6][7] In the summer of 2015, he signed for Barrow, but after failing to break into the first team squad, he was loaned back to Oxford City on a one-month deal in November of the same year.[8] This deal was cut short, and Fofana was recalled after Barrow's squad was depleted by injuries.[9]

In 2018 Fofana left England for Oman, playing for a few months before the club he joined encountered financial problems. He attended a training camp in Thailand in December 2018, before eventually signing with Thai League 3 side Bangkok.[10]
