Modou Joof (born 1 October 2002) is a Gambian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Philippines Football League club Manila Digger.[1][2]
Gambia
Joof was born in Essau in northwestern Gambia. Starting at 8 years old, he played youth football for Gambia Ports Authority[3] before continuing to play for their senior team in 2016, which got him noticed by national team coaches.[4] In 2021, he moved to Senegal to play for Guédiawaye.[5]
Morocco
In August 2022, Joof signed for Botola Pro 2 side CR Bernoussi.[6] Though he signed a three-year contract with the Moroccan team,[3] he departed in 2023, returning to Gambia to play for BST Galaxy.[7]
Philippines
it was announced in mid 2024 that Joof would be departing BST Galaxy, joining fellow Gambian players Saikou Ceesay and Modou Manneh in signing for Manila Digger of the Philippines Football League.[8][9]
After a solid first season at the club, Joof stayed with Digger for the next PFL season.[10][11] He would also see action in the club's continental campaigns, representing them in the AFC Challenge League[12][13] and scoring a goal as Digger lost to Persib Bandung of Indonesia in the AFC Champions League Two.[14][15]
