Real de Banjul defender Saihou Mansally has completed a permanent transfer to Senegalese top tier side AS Pikine.

The diminutive right full-back signed a two year deal with the Dakar based outfit.

“I’m excited to join AS Pikine because they’re a good team and their plans are really exciting,” Mansally told realdebanjul.gm.

Saity as he is fondly called came through the youth ranks at the club before making it to the first team.

“I’ve played for the best in the Gambia (Real de Banjul) and won everything with the club.

“It is a bittersweet moment for me but I know the club is in a good state with brilliant players who can continue to achieve more success.

“I can’t thank the board enough because they have been supportive over the years. My brothers played for RDB and it was like a family for me,” he added.

The Tallinding born defender was one of the longest serving members of the current squad.

During his successful spell the hard tackling full-back won everything with the club.

“Mansally is one of our best players and he represented the club with pride,” William Abraham, Real de Banjul president said.

“We wish him the best in his new adventure at AS Pikine. We have no doubts that he will do well.”
