Seydouba Soumah

Seydouba Soumah (born 11 June 1991) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Born in Conakry, Guinea, Soumah began his football career playing on the streets, before moving to South Africa and joining the youth system of Ajax Cape Town as a teenager. He was initially sent out on season-long loans to National First Division sides Ikapa Sporting (2008–09) and FC Cape Town (2009–10), before returning to his parent club.

On 21 January 2011, Soumah made his debut for Ajax in the Premier Soccer League, coming off the bench in a 3–0 away victory against Platinum Stars. He scored his first goal in a 2–1 home win over Mpumalanga Black Aces on 6 March. In total, Soumah made 10 appearances in the 2010–11 season, as the club finished as runners-up.

In September 2011, Soumah moved to National First Division side University of Pretoria. He bagged two goals in the first half of 2011–12 season. In January 2012, Tuks manager Steve Barker revealed that Soumah parted ways with the club.

In February 2012, Soumah arrived to Europe and signed a three-year contract with Slovak club Nitra. He scored two times until the end of the 2011–12 season. On 14 September 2012, Soumah received a red card in a 3–1 home league loss to Spartak Trnava, alongside two other teammates. He was later fined €3,400 and banned from football for six months for making an obscene gesture towards fans, assaulting the opponent's players and threatening the referee during that match.

In December 2012, Soumah was transferred to fellow Slovak club Slovan Bratislava for a fee of €150,000. He signed a long-term contract and was given the number 20 shirt. Through the remainder of the season, Soumah made 13 appearances and won the double. He also helped the club win the second title in a row in the 2013–14 season, scoring two goals in 21 games. In July 2014, Soumah celebrated by lifting the Slovak Super Cup trophy after Slovan beat MFK Košice 1–0.

In July 2015, Soumah moved to Kuwait Premier League side Qadsia on a season-long loan. He netted seven league goals to help the club win the 2015–16 title. Soumah also made two appearances in the 2015 AFC Cup, scoring one goal.

Following his loan spell at Qadsia, Soumah returned to Slovan and by the end of November 2016 had extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2020. He would become the league's joint top scorer in the 2016–17 season, alongside Filip Hlohovský, with 20 goals. Soumah also helped the club win the Slovak Cup, scoring the last goal of a 3–0 win over MFK Skalica in the final. He finished the season as the team's top scorer with 25 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions. Due to his performances, Soumah was also named in the league's best eleven.
