Three-time winners of the Norwegian cup Mjondalen IF Football Club have officially welcomed 19-year-old Alie Conteh, a former FC Kallon and East End Lions forward to their current squad. Conteh arrived in Norway on Friday and the eight times Norwegian cup finalists with excitement took to their official website to announce the arrival of the Godrich Strikers football club graduate stating that “work and residence permits are now in place,” adding that the Sierra Leonean attacking player is thus ready for Mjøndalen in the 2024 season and is ready for training with his new teammates. The club further informed that Conteh who has been in the spotlight of several clubs in Europe, made Mjøndalen IF his ultimate place, but that it took them some time to put in place work and residence permits for the skilful and ambitious teenage forward from Sierra Leone. Conteh’s deal which details are yet disclosed follows his successful trial with Mjøndalen IF in the summer when he immediately impressed, and even netted twice in an internal game, according to his scout Remi Wulff who says the player “has a lot of pace and loves to run between the centre-backs at the same time as he is a good head player who can score a lot on cross balls from the edges.” Having previously etched his named into the list of Sierra Leone goal scoring Great when he excelled for the East End Lions in his debut season 2020/2021 in the Sierra Leone Premier League and went on to win the Golden Boot award the following season for FC Kallon scoring 20 goals from 19 games including a double hat-trick against Lambo FC in their famous 6-1 win on May 11 last year, Conteh will still needs to naturally spend some time to interact and understand how his new club play according to his new Head coach Kevin Nicol who like other top club officials, is also delighted to finally have the nineteen-year-old on his passport. Back home, Conteh is famous for his goal-scoring ability and his six goals historic goals scored against Lamboi FC puts him on top of the list of players that have scored more than a three goals in a single national top-tier match, a feat that has been hit by a only a few including former FC Kallon forward Ibrahim Tetteh Bangura and Port Authority forward Musa Noah “Tombo” Kamara who’ve previously netted hauls (4 goals each) in a single match respectively against Old Edwardians and Anti-Drugs FC. However, all eyes will be on Conteh when the Norwegian League season begins to help his new club gain promotion from the first division league after finishing on 13th place last season with 37 points.
