Solomon Sambou

Solomon Sambou played at Fulham from 2008 until 2015 in the club's youth setup. A holding midfielder with great physical presence and determination, he always looked comfortable on the ball, helping to break up opponents attacks. Nicknamed the Enforcer within the Academy, Solomon is eligible for both Gambia and England. He was released in 2015 without a first team appearance to his name.

Before Fulham
Born in Churchill's Town, Gambia, this was where Solomon was raised until his family moved to England whilst he was still young.

Fulham (2008-2015)
Solomon joined Fulham when he was just 12 years old. Generally always the strongest/biggest of his age groups at the club, he dominated the defence/midfield throughout his early years at the club. He made the U18 squad at the start of the 2011-12 season before he had even turned 16, and it was here that he began to show his real promise. For the next three seasons, he played in what has been perhaps the strongest academy group the club has ever seen by helping them to two national titles, a Dallas Cup victory and as runners-up in the FA Youth Cup. The latter of which he scored an effort in the second leg of the final.

2014-15 saw Solomon joining up as a squad player for the Under-21 squad where he became a regular in the heart of the midfield. To a degree of some surprise among Fulham fans, he was released in the summer of 2015 after he turned down a new contract offer from the club.

After Fulham
Solomon went on trial to Bolton Wanderers during pre-season of 2014-15, though they decided ultimately not to sign him.

It was announced by Bedford Town on 25 October 2015 that he had signed on a free transfer, playing in the Southern League Division One Central - 7 leagues below Fulham at the time.
