Amadaiya Rennie (born 17 March 1990) is a Liberian former footballer who played as a forward.
Following good performances at Mighty Barrolle he was voted most valuable player of the 2007 season, and also became team captain of the Liberia under-20 national football team. This drew the interest from several clubs, such as A.C. Siena and Portland Timbers,[3] however following a trial with Allsvenskan club IF Elfsborg, he decided to sign for the Swedish team.[4] Spending the 2009 season in the U-21 team he was signed to a first-team contract prior to the 2010 season.
On 22 March 2011, he was loaned out to Allsvenskan rivals GAIS,[5] following a severe injury to fellow Elfsborg player Mohammed Abdulrahman who was on loan to GAIS.[6]
On 1 July he signed with the Swedish Superettan club Degerfors IF, a contract that was to expire at the end of the 2011 season.[7] On 4 October 2011 he signed a new contract with Degerfors, keeping him at the club for two more years.[8]
In November 2013 he signed a three-year-long contract with Hammarby IF, leaving Degerfors as a free agent.[9]
In August 2015, Rennie completed a season-long loan deal with Norwegian side Brann, with striker Jakob Orlov moving the opposite way.[10]
