Sierra Leonean international Abdulai Juma Bah made his La Liga debut Valladolid goalless draw against Real Sociedad, as we reported earlier.

He featured for the 78th minute on his first start wearing No 35 jersey – His strong impression at Real Valladolid has been rewarded since joining less than a month ago.

Juma Bah, a young 195-centimetre tall centre-back, has proven to be a reliable defender. He impresses the coaching staff and players with his physicality and skill in on-field battles.

Breaking new heights, Bah became the first Sierra Leonean to play in the Spanish top-tier league.

Starting from playing in the streets on the outskirts of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, and helping his family by working in a bakery in the market in the Congo neighbourhood, he ended up being called up five months later by a historic team in one of the best leagues in the world.

He started with the Juvenil División de Honor and quickly moved up to the Promesas team, where he made a successful debut last weekend.

Scouts travelled to Africa to observe him live before he was signed, and his defensive prowess and composure on the ball were evident in his debut last weekend.

Real Valladolid fans are eager to see how Abdulai Juma Bah will contribute to the club’s success this season. He has made a promising start and is a player to watch in the upcoming matches.
