Club career
Early career
Juwara was born in the Gambia and embarked as a migrant to Italy in 2016. There, he started playing football with Virtus Avigliano and after a successful season was scouted by Chievo. He was banned from transferring to Chievo by the FIGC, but he challenged the hearing and eventually joined them.[2]
Juwara briefly joined Torino F.C. on loan for the 2019 Torneo di Viareggio, where he scored 3 goals in 3 matches, before returning to Verona for the end of the season.[3]
He made his professional debut for Chievo in a 0–0 Serie A tie with Frosinone Calcio on 25 May 2019, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Manuel Pucciarelli.[4]
Bologna
On 8 July 2019, Juwara signed a deal with Bologna.[5] Although he was assigned to their Under-19 squad for the 2019–20 season, he quickly began falling into Siniša Mihajlović's first-team plans, making his debut on December 4 by playing the full 90 minutes in a 4-0 Coppa Italia defeat at the hands of Udinese.[6]
His Serie A debut for the club came on February 4, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute for fellow-countryman Musa Barrow in a 3–2 victory at Roma. This would be followed by appearances off the bench against Genoa and Udinese, before the competition was halted on March 9 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
After the competition resumed he would be given a lot more first-team opportunities as a result of the heavy playing schedule and new 5-substitute rule, impressing in the first game back in a 2–0 loss at Juventus on June 22, where he replaced Riccardo Orsolini in the 82nd minute.[8]
His first Serie A goal came on July 5, in a convincing performance at San Siro, where he would score the equaliser and secure the sending-off of Alessandro Bastoni in a 2–1 win over Inter Milan.[9]
Loan to Boavista
On 6 October 2020, he joined Portuguese club Boavista on loan with an option to purchase.[10]
Loan to Crotone
On 13 July 2021, he moved on loan to Crotone.[11] On 31 January 2022, the loan was terminated early.[12]
Loan to OB
On 19 January 2023, Juwara joined OB in Denmark on loan until 31 December 2023, with an option to buy.[13] After a six-month stay, Juwara had yet to make his debut. For this reason, on 8 June 2023, the club decided to terminate the rental agreement six months early.[14]
Vejle
On 3 July 2023, Juwara joined newly promoted Danish Superliga club Vejle Boldklub on a deal until June 2026.[15]
Pogoń Szczecin
On 3 July 2025, Juwara joined Polish club Pogoń Szczecin on a three-year contract, with a one-year extension option.[16]
