Ousman Marong (born 21 June 1999) is a Gambian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Sileks in the Macedonian First Football League.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Born in Kololi, Marong started playing in Gambia at the Superstars Academy. They sent him on loan to Israeli club Beitar Nes Tubruk where he made 24 appearances and scored 9 goals in the 2017–18 Israeli youth league.[2]

In the winter-break of the 2018–19 season, he signed with Serbian club Trayal Kruševac[3] along his compatriot Lamin Jobe.[4] Marong adapted immediately in Serbia, contributing with 6 goals in 14 appearances in the second-half of the season. His performances called the attention of bigger clubs, and by June there were rumors he was going to sign with current Serbian champions, Red Star Belgrade.[5]

International career

[edit]

Before arriving to Serbia, Marong had already been member of the Gambian U-23 national team.[6]
