FC Groningen has extended Fofin Turay’s contract until the summer of 2026, the deal includes an additional season run. 

With Sierra Leonean ancestry, Turay was born and grew up in Groningen. Starting football at GVAV Rapiditas, the 21-year-old winger joined FC Groningen’s Under12s, the youngest youth team, in 2015.

Making his first team debut in the 2023/24 season in the first home game of the season, Turay finished his academy training at Corpus den Hoorn successfully.

During the KKD season, Turay appeared in three cup games and sixteen league matches. Away to Ajax last season, he made his Eredivisie debut. Until his injury, he also played for FC Groningen under21.

Turay was hurt during training camp over the winter break last season, which prevented him from missing the whole second half of the season.

With this contract extension, FC Groningen is offering the homegrown player the time and space to concentrate on a full recovery, with the assistance of the specialists and amenities at the Top sport Zorg Centrum.

Turay has already played his first few matches in preparation for this new football season.
