Before formally signed by Monza, he also played for amateur side Forza e Costanza,[1] which was in Promozione (7th highest level of the pyramid). He also played for Monza in friendly before the bureaucratic clearance.[1]

Before he left the club, he picked no.14 shirt for 2011–12 Serie A.[5] In the 2012–13 season he signed the loan contract for Lumezzane. On 30 June 2013 Samb was released by Chievo in order to make the team have a non-EU registration quota from abroad.
